RE: layered security for the modern Internet

Eddy,

My favorite idiom is; "You're either part of the problem or part of the
solution."

What's your solution?

Looking at last week's NANOG posts: SAV... 30% of spam from
h4x0r3d boxen... bagle...

It seems the original definition and ideology of layered security
are outdated.  Layered security now means:

* Do nothing at a given layer if the problem can be solved, or
  partially solved, at another layer;

* If a problem cannot be completely solved at a given layer, do
  nothing at that layer;

* Approach the problem by arguing on NANOG over who has the most
  representative analogy.
