Yeah, okay. I will grant that. But, should a good technology be nixed
because some idiots might mis-use it? I personally don't think so.
This thread started with a question about a TCP technology report, and
wandered into firewall and general security technologies. Which is the
good technology that is likely to be misused?

It has been at least 10 years since the word "technology" came to mean
"post process male bovine grass and grain." Whenever someone uses a form
of the T-word, make the appropriate substitution and notice that the user's
intended meaning is far clearer, albeit sometimes more clear than the user
desired.
