That's OK :)

Well first because I can. Now to be a bit more serious, because I do
stress testing on the system, because that's a handy utility to have
(a "port catcher" to see how you application handles with that),
because at the time I didn't knew about RAW sockets, because I want to
do TCP connections from one side of the firewall to the other and
implementing the TCP stacks by my self (If I choose to go the raw
socket way) is something I wouldn't like to do (at least for now).
