Dave All true. My point is that it seems the author might've been a little sloppy; it's not clear what he meant by "fat." Seems unlikely (as you point out) that the issue is anything inherent in the protocols themselves (such as payload size, etc.) but rather in the particular (mis-)uses the guy might be considering. jb
