Yes, but that's no reason to include them in every message of the thread.

No. Performance data from a ping program was.

If this had been sent to nagiosplug-devel I would have considered it a 
bug report. In context of nagios-users I thought of it more as a plea of 
help to get something working.

Also, when the licensing issues on check_icmp has been solved, it may be 
the default program to check ICMP ECHO response times, as it is far 
superior to the output parsing programs.
