No, you are not. I have seen the same from "firewall engineers" at
large companies, people who, supposedly, have done "network security"
for years. Even after showing them numerous Web sites detailing
current best practices, especially Rob Thomas's fine site, these folks
would not change their practices.

Some days it is hard to not give in to the "I give up" feelings.
