I like rfc2812 style convo better, like the one used in Redis PING: http://redis.io/commands/ping

Updated: to reflect eli's help on origin of command style. Btw, why did someone down-vote me on this?

That command sequence is much older than Redis: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2812#page-37

Thanks for the reference.
