Could you guys move this off the list to provate e-mail.
This is no longer constructive to the issue of firewalls.
I could equaly make the argument that a firewall is like
a fuse so you want to to go down to isolate & protect the
internal network.  You can chop the logic any which way you
want, but once it gets ito "My X is bigger than yours" we
are not chopping logic any more.
