Yes, of course you have to hold the state for some time after
transmitting a response so that if you receive a retransmission of the
request, you can retransmit the response.  This *must* apply to *every*
request/response, otherwise the protocol could not work.

I don't understand why this isn't obvious to everybody.  Yet, I see some
form of this question asked every few days on the mailing lists.

Playing the curmudgeon today,
