Oh please. In my post I assumed you had enough clue to understand what I was saying but simply wern't thinking. Obviously not the case.<p>I don't mean to be offensive, but, seriously, how can you claim any level of expertise if you believe there is some kind of mutual exclusivity between multicast and UDP (while in reality it's quite the opposite)... Sigh.<p>I'm sorry I got as hot headed as I did, but keeping uneducated programmers from using broadcast rather then multicast is a hot issue for me. Now, you can discuss this as a programmer who migh have something to learn about modern best-practices for protocol design, or you can choose to butt heads with me as an expert.. However, if you choose to play the expert then you should be prepaired to get taken apart when you venture into an area where you lack expertise.<p>My harsh attitude should be a lesser social goof then your dishonest representation of expertise. After all, I might ruffle some feathers, but your actions could lead to long lasting stupid mistakes in the protocol.<p><i>Sorry that I care when I see people being misinformed...</i> but the fact that I'm acting like an ******* doesn't make you any less wrong or me any less right.
