None the less, I still have a serious problem with a vendor who is willing to
distort the truth to the extent that they refer to that device as an "air
gap."  Perhaps I mis-spoke my self in last September's debate, but my core
issue with Whale has always been the gross distortion in how they describe the
product.  I always thought it sounded like a reasonable design for an
application proxy firewall; my problem is that they won't 'fess up to that
being all that it is.

I'm really heartened to hear that Avi likes their design.  The product would
be truly scary if their engineering were as slip-shod as their marketing.
