    Oh man, I couldn't agree with you more! I couldn't have said it better
    myself!! Here I thought I was the only one that thought that the "firewall",
    A/V, etc craze was caused by FUD (read: Steve Gibson). Sorry if I've
    misinterpreted what you said.

    *I can't remember the last time I had an A/V program, and I've never used a
    firewall. It all hinges on common sense/intelligence.

    *Famous last words =)
