Not really in this case as its just a telnet send comand so there aint
nothing Im gonna do if it falls over
But if I wanted to something else I would hang onto it
In this case the user will see the result either way and if it fails

I 'spose a bit of this comes from NOT have a C background where you
dont get help like this,
and the maid is just as likely to be knocking off you knives and forks
just 'cause you forgot to tell her not to
