Hey Tom,
 
Feel free to promote ISAs benefits all you want. You know I am a fan of ISA 
Praising ISA and talking about its powers is always welcome on the list. I just 
don't think we need to belittle other vendors to do it. ISA can stand on its 
own.... it doesn't need us to stoop to vendor bashing to prove it.

Given that this is allegedly an ISA firewall MVP list, I think a little
"fanboy" behavior is completely appropriate.

And if you had to deal with the PIX "cluckers" and their idiot echo
chamber every day trying teach them that hardware didn't come down from
Mt. Olympus, you'd appreciate the need for letting out a little steam.
