Re: Firewalls that generate new packets..

[Dave Piscitello <dave () corecom com>]

I suspect that the moderator allowed this post to comment on the 
revisionist part of this email.

In all other respects, this post is inappropriate. As a rule, statements 
like "no other solution can even pretend to approach" and "bought by 
more organizations than the next several competitors combined" are 
entirely out of bounds on a technical list.

They do not help the community share expertise and improve the global 
security baseline.

Please find another venue if this is what you intend to bring to the table.
