Being exposed to djbdns I was never tempted at all to try c-ares.

Not sure what I missed. It must have some other redeeming qualities besides this one. :)

Learning to master nc and tcpclient before curl* had the same effect. I guess I am missing all the fun.

*There are so many features, so much rarely used code, I'm not sure one could ever hope to fully understand all the implications.
