No, that wasn't the complaint.  You completely missed the point.  The
original poster stated that IDSes "protect" you.  He even went so far as
to quote from the dictionary the definition of "protect".  I countered
that they do nothing but spew information.  Someone has to do the
analysis and research and so forth.

Never **once** did I **complain** about it.  For someone who claims to
have "creativity", you sure lack basic reading skills.

The rest of your vomit isn't worth responding to.
