Who would have thought ten years ago that Microsoft
and it's poorly written software would have been
responsible for the advent of protocol filtering
throughout the net.

To those who want to filter everything, please make
sure you state those policies all over your company
web site so people desiring a "real" conneciton can
avoid you.

If you even filter only at the very edge you should
make it optional as a "value-added" service.
