Well, that was how I tried to respond, but I guess interpretation ==
reality.

That's not his point... his point is the "attitude" of the conversation,
not the discussion of the perception of a "hardware firewall" vs a
"software firewall." And I have to say, his points are valid as stated
IMO.
I don't think my loyalty to ISA can be questioned, yet I've got a
Netgear FVX538 in front of everything here. Not because I think a
"hardware firewall" is "better," but because it works for my
environment, and allows me to do things I want a little differently than
what I could do otherwise, even though there are aspects of its
configuration that drive me crazy.
You're absolutely right about the security of any device in any given
configuration, but we don't have conversations like that, do we?
