Thank you for your time Endre. Well, in my opinion, that is something that needs to be documented. Because in my answering actor, I was using `sender()` to reply back. In this case, the use of the word `sender` implies that some reference to the actual actor that sent the message is maintained, whereas, it isn’t.
