 many libs didnt recognize AUTH so for those the client wont know and that message gets ignored and client retries?

i added auth to a fork of calle's fork of python-nostr awhile back. i now have to look for auth, and if encountered, handle it and resend original message

 yep that's the correct way to handle it

but for relays, just gonna say it, it's less work to just keep the connection open and drop the messages because otherwise the dumbass clients keep reconnecting, and that's more noisy and higher bandwidth than just holding a ping pong

of course drop the connections if your websockets count is getting out of control but i think that's a pretty high bar to reach

 Client: "Did you hear anything from bob?"
Relay: "Bob doesn't live here."
Client: "Did you hear any thing from bob?"
Relay: *oh brother*
