That's a hard question.  `Should' by whose authority?

It's certainly normal, if unhelpful.  I usually run `netstat | grep
-vi close' (`-i close' because the spelling and case of `Closed' used
to vary; it looks like they are standardised now).  If I weren't
interested in listeners but only in established connections, I'd use
`netstat | grep Established'.
