But it wasn't a simple question. You were looking for nefarious activity and hoping to find it within Sigil. You also suggested there was a level of disrespect in the way Sigil was operating.

A simple, unassuming question would have been something along the lines of: "Looking through some logs and I saw Sigil hitting up a Google dns server on startup. What's that about?"
I chose Google for my ping because it's always up and won't be affected by a few thousand extra pings. I chose port 53 because it's common enough that most people wouldn't be alarmed by a ping to well known service port. And at the end of the day, it's not even dns communication that's going on in the first place. The idea is to bail on the update-check as quick as possible so as not to delay the launch of Sigil.
