I don't think it carries that subtext at all. Instead it says, "We can't
answer your question, but those guys over there might know the answer."

And that was in fact a wrong answer, as someone else (an "expert"!)
answered that the real problem was the the poster wasn't following the
FTP message protocol correctly. It had nothing to do with blocking.
So we see first-hand the danger of answering technical questions when you
don't really know the answer -- and possibly don't even understand the
question.
