In a paper to be presented at the 1993 ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles, Cheriton and Skeen offer their understanding of causal and total ordering as a communication property. In this brief rebuttal. I present some responses to their criticism, and also explain why I find their discussion of causal and total communication ordering to be narrow and incomplete.
