John, I respect your opinion, but I disagree with absolutely everything you said that follows this. However, in a rare moment of (I think) good sense, I've decided that this whole issue, both the firewall argument and the AT&T port blocking thing just aren't important enough for me to boil my blood over, so I've chosen to agree to disagree instead of ranting endlessly about why I don't agree, and I've chosen to disregard AT&T's blocking of ports. I'm against it, and I've said I'm against it, and in reality I'm not going to do too much about it other than that, so I'm going to shut up now. -- --------------------------------------------------- Derek Martin | Unix/Linux geek ddm at pizzashack.org | GnuPG Key ID: 0x81CFE75D Retrieve my public key at http://pgp.mit.edu - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
