Hmm, you're right.  I have slacker's direct response sitting here in my outbound and the packet itself is from my fido aka even though the message is addressed correctly:


$ pktinfo -h 000300c1.iut

As long as it works, I guess we can go with one of these three:

"If it ain't broke don't fix it"
"If it looks stupid but it works, it ain't stupid"
"If it's stupid and it works, it's still stupid and you're lucky"
