Of course Bruce Schneider is going to allocate ISP's handling security so 
he can sell them more of his crappy Counterpane products. I find it 
offensive that Mr. Schneider would categorize ISPs as lazy and 
unresponsible, and it does nothing but encourage me to sell anything BUT 
Counterpane to my customers.

Our customers vary greatly, and their security needs differ just as much. 
There is no one stop solution for every customer, and it is not the ISP's 
responsibility to filter traffic and firewall their customers. Those that 
do invariable end up with trouble.
