That's fine, it seems I was not clear: My comment was a general one re a nbr of the posts, not directed towards anyone in particular. I thought that was implied.
Well, when I said "It seems a lot of people are very much confusing the functionality of a router, a firewall, and NAT." I meant exactly that; no snark intended. The comments about NAT *clearly* indicate a failure to distinguish between NAT, firewall, and routing [three different capabilities].
As I thought I had already indicated, the snark observation was not a direct reference to the previously ref'd comment, but rather to how - IMHO - the language in some of the posts was becoming unproductive. Again, it was not directed towards any specific individual and that should have been better clarified. Revisiting for a moment the NAT statement which you reiterate, it may very well be that there is a "failure to distinguish" among those engaged in the debate (or not, I'm not qualified to judge). The surprise I expressed was only in ref to that being generalized to "what people on this list believe" (as opposed to just those in the debate). Nothing more. Obviously, I should have just kept my clap shut. On both points. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
