Sure, but I really believe a light *ping* is much better than a complete resend to start with.

I wasn't looking to get this merged during this cycle, but was wondering if it got missed or something like that. I still don't think that a simple Ping was that bad of an option, but its fine. Take your time to review this, no issues. Cheers. -- viresh
