rfc1918 ignorant

Needs is a tough call. Plenty of networks block ICMP at the border and
could very well be using 1918 addressing in between and you'd have no
idea.

Wholesale blocking of ICMP is another sign of incompetence. Either way
a network using RFC1918 inappropriately, filtering all icmp, or both
is a clueless network.
