Where it causes a network meltdown. The objective reality is pretty clear to some (many? most?) of us.
You lambast him for attempting a solution that is foolish to apply for every known possible problem
You bet I do!
where if your solution was applied as such, we'd have a swiss-cheese internet in which any commonly used destination port is blocked due to the scads of IIS/bind/fingerd/ftpd/whatever worms.
In one part of your response, you note I don't advocate a 1-size-fits- all solution, and then the second part, assume 1-size-fits-all. That's inconsistent logic in your argument.
Have fun filtering.
Filtering is not fun. That's why I'm trying to get everyone to cooperate in eradication of this particular problem, so that we could drop filters. (Look at the subject line.) Right now, whether you know it or not, filtering is all that's holding the Internet as a whole together.... If you didn't filter, you're actually depending on the good graces of the rest of us that did!
