Firewall Day, help the cause

That Web site is utterly disingenuous.  Rather than giving 
low-value information, how about high-value information that 
actually protects people:

1) Don't use Windows.
2) Don't use Outlook.

Our company uses neither Windows nor Outlook, and although we 
do have a firewall, we do not use anti-virus software.

SPL> So why do you use a firewall?
 
Indeed. We the Righteous can have a firewall, but the incredibly
ignorant "we the people" cannot, because they (we the people, not we
the righteous) use Windows.

Sigh. I wonder who is more ignorant.
