Actually, I agree with the second statement (it sound be killed).
If you want to have it return true once the target is attached, 
you need some way of detecting that state (perhaps a global).
I didn't bother to do that, because I don't like the idea.

This is the only remote target that tries to do this.
I'd be glad to yank it if you say the word...
