It isn't a question (thus the lack of question mark).  I asked for 
either a clarification or a quotation of the page mentionned in the FAQ 
to avoid confusion (or add some?) about syn cookies.

DJB, as he is known, tends to be a bit strong minded and has a habit of 
thinking that everyone should want what he wants.  He also has a 
tendancy to write secure software and is a pretty good number cruncher 
too (has his own hash library, does cryptography, etc.)  Some love him, 
some hate him, but if you search for 'DJB' on Google, I'm sure you'll 
find plenty.

I have a good feeling they're correct too, since I've been using syn 
cookies "forever" now without any problems of which I'm aware.  I'm 
surprised those mentionned haven't said anything (or that I haven't read 
it yet) that contradicts DJB (who was involved in the design of SYN 
cookies).
