normally i would have just hit delete.  but your ad hominem attack on
the messenger need a response.

the reality of life is that he is correct in that "attack traffic comes
from legitimate IP sources anyway."

therefore, your first duty should be to keep your hosts from joining the
massive army of botnets.

Having no hosts, I can't do much about that other than ...

i suggest you go back to the mail to which you responded obscenely
vilifying the poster who was specifically saying he worried about his
host before bcp38.  that was specifically the subject.

Given that I know of no provider larger than us using BCP38 on every
port

well, that sets an upper bound on the extent of your knowledge, eh.  and
not a very high one.
