I did.[0]

No matter how you slice it, where any probing code will sit is waiting for
non-responded queries.

Simply because it doesn't sit for the responded queries. ;)

[0] - the code was written a long time ago, if I recall correctly I didn't
use any modern thread library.  I did encode into the 16bit ID the
necessary pointer to the query so when the response came back I'd know
what, who and why I'd asked.  Still, I ran out of space waiting on the
non-responses.  In staring at the code back then, I came to realize that,
if you watch the 'tail -f' of any network inspecting code, the log message
you'll always see is "waiting on response from...".  If there was no
waiting, the screen would scream by so fast you'd see nothing.

Kinda zen like.
