I don't think anyone in this thread is 'fixated' on the idea of airgapping; but it's generally a good idea whenever 
possible, and as restrictive a communications policy as is possible is definitely called for, amongst all the other 
things one ought to be doing.

It's also important to note that it's often impossible to *completely* airgap things, these days, due to various 
interdependencies, admin requirements (mentioned before), and so forth; perhaps bastioning is a more apt term.
