Yes, some newbies forget to provide a filename and wonder why there's no
response. However to know that the warning has been issued, one would
have to retain the IP address of the useless server(s). Also the output
could get annoying in situations where it's expected that useless
servers will make offers. Maybe a config variable that can be turned
off?

Sounds reasonable.
