That is BS and YOU KNOW IT.

Uh-oh, the capitals have started....

One reason for me to stop responding to him. That discussion leads
nowhere. I shouldn't have responded to that guy in the first place,
keeping the thread informative and mature. Excuse my trollish
behaviour. =)

What? You quite the INSTANT I pointed out that any script kiddy in the world
can attack your open port, thus calling into question any claim about how
secure your system could be compared to a system that did not hold that
port open! There is absolutely no reason to have that port open in that way
exposing you to unnecessary risk.

Never mind that you repeatedly attacked me for using "Again, that's security
by obscurity" When I was securing a port by SHUTTING IT DOWN, not obscuring
it the way YOU did when you put it on a non-standard port!

But I do understand why you would want to console yourself with trolls like
Dan, you're a matched pair, when you can't when a debate with reason, you
insult.
