Re: Firewalls that generate new packets..

I also completely misunderstood that email.

I was like:

"ohmygosh, noway, gagmewithaspoon!!!  Is like, this old
guy for real?  Like, ohmygosh!!!

Now, of course, I understand that it was just Paul and I and a few
others in the minority who were in the wrong, misinterpreting his wholly
factual and unbiased justthefacts maam downhome folksy honesty for 
marketing spin, hyperbole, and outright lies.

Good of you to set us straight.

This is the part I have serious troubles with- "on purpose" implies that 
it was a pre-planned, thought-out event, not that you just didn't screw it 
up by not doing anything[1].  The code bases _started out differently_ for 
no reason other than the fact that the products were from different 
companies, on two different platforms.  To paint that fact as if it were 
some sort of strategic plan does the readers of this list a disservice.
