You could plagiarize and you wouldn't be off the mark by much. Reading the responses so far it seems fair to make the working hypothesis that the average silk lister is interested in (in no particular order) - Reading up on history - Getting fit - Catching up with a long list of unread books - Traveling the world ... to name a few. I wonder why no one desires the most popular pastime of mankind when time and money are no object. Also the passion of Maharajahs and rock stars. India is most certainly a land with great experience in this matter, we have palaces, traditions and even the most ancient rituals and books on the subject. Perhaps this silk list place is a bunch of weirdos, eh? Ok, seriously now, all this is purely in jest, and no offense to women or sobriety intended. But surely, with such a large commonality of interests, we must be able to figure out a way to get to these end goals sooner, or at least chart a sensible path to there? Don't ask me how, my upbringing only taught me enough to ask these 'common sense' questions, not to answer them. Cheeni

ICMP is "Internet Control Message Protocol" which, broadly speaking, is used to report errors, respond to errors, for diagnostics, or for routing in an IP network. Given that the original query was about determining gender from an IP address, ICMP is arguably the most likely protocol one would use to determine gender from an IP address - if you assume the IP address isn't sufficient in and of itself to determine gender. Naively one might assume that gender was a layer one issue, or perhaps a layer two MAC issue (but definitely NOT an LLC issue!) but my citation of gender as a social construct would argue against an essentialist defintion of gender, and so preclude a layer one based determination of gender. ICMP is a layer three protocol, for what it's worth. Clear? -- Charles

I don't have any workable global destruction plans on hand, not that I haven't thought about it - it is a hard problem. Likewise it is a really hard task to be perfectly bad, that is to never do anything or anyone good. All things considered it is far easier to be good than bad. Cheeni
