No, but ietf.org /does/ document what TCP is, and /not/ just in code 
either, so it's there for folks that need it.

I actually thought the point was pretty effective, given what it was in 
reply to.  If it were me the elementary school reply was made to, I'd 
have felt it within my rights to ask for an apology.  I therefore 
considered the ietf remark a rather clever reply to the innuendo, making 
the point delicately, while avoiding the loss of face challenge asking 
for an apology presents.
