Exactly right, and this is one of the reasons that I do indeed accept the mail, and I have even made this same argument myself many times when the subject comes up. OTOH, none of the RFCs say anything about (and have no jurisdiction over) whatever weighting I might assign such events locally. That's the canonical reason for why I want to do most of these tests to SA in the first place. -- Eric A. Hall http://www.ehsco.com/ Internet Core Protocols http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/coreprot/
