This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

ICMP gets blocked because it's a violation of a lot of legal and contractual requirements to allow it on a network.

my company just signed a contract, and this was a requirement of the contract for us to do the work. So now we block it. It's inconvenient, but we need to make money.

a lot of IT contractual obligations are horribly out of date technologically, but they are a legal liabilty so they have to be enacted. Our contract also required us to not use Windows XP explicitly, this is because a lot of place still do in a limited capacity like for controllers.
