There is no requirement that he even announce his survey!  It is polite 
for him to do so but no more than that.

There will inevitably be servers that he cannot query; mine because my 
firewall will not allow the query to pass.  I suppose I could allow port 
123 from strangers but everything works as now configured and I'm 
reluctant to tinker with it!
