  It struck me that some people might be unwilling to discuss problems
with their firewalls for fear of announcing to their world what software
they're using and thus making it easier for someone to break in. Is
this the case for anyone out there? Please feel free to respond
privately, if you so desire, and I will keep your replies confidential.

  In my case, I never post to the firewalls list from a client's site.
