For that matter - we all grew up long enough ago to be able to lock our
own front doors - not rely on someone else to pre-emptively brick
sections up on the offchance that we left that door open accidentally.
One thing I *would* like to see more is ISP willingness to let us
control the filter at *their* side of the pipe; by the time it has
bounced off my firewall it has already used up bandwidth I pay for.
