It all comes full circle as defense-in-depth.  It isn't just a clever
buzzword  ;-)

Thank you for your time and attention,

Agreed that firewalls are often ineffective, but that doesn't 
mean they
shouldn't be used.  I love the descriptiveness of firewalls as "a hard
crunchy shell with a soft, chewy center".  If you firewall 
-and- stay up
on your patches, then you're using a firewall effectively.  
But many see
a firewall as an excuse for not patching.
