    Am I missing something here, or is that fact that a scripted, sequential
single portscan getting dropped by a firewall a non-issue in the grand
scheme of things ?

All you're missing is probably just the fact that there are a lot of
overly paranoid, trigger-happy, dudes on this list who don't yet really
know how to tell the difference between a real threat and a lamer
speeding by in a hot-rod on the next street over....
