Now, now, ~EDUCATED~ people have been known to make decisions better/?/worse
than getting married.... Heard of Bertrand Russell and his affairs ???!!

UDP is unreliable even over Ethernet or other ``perfect''* networks
(at least in 4.2BSD) because since it doesn't have windowing (flow
control) so packets can and do get dropped after being successfully
received, checksummed, etc.  (Take a look at sbappendaddr.)
