But adding the tyrrany of silly network policies, like turning off ICMP 
Echo Request! :-)

I'd like to say I am just kidding, but I'm not.  :-)

If the only benefit is that the "morons" can FIND machines, it's still 
useless.  Guess what?  Networks are full of machines.  They're damn easy 
to find in other ways.

Spoofed ARP requests work great.  In fact, most OS's use it to make sure 
their IP isn't assigned anywhere on the local LAN before they accept 
DCHP addresses.

And any "moron" can figure that out and work around blocked ICMP...
