hehe.. thanks for the analogy, i like it.

trust me jack, you're not missing anything... software firewalls don't form any kind of 'impermeable barrier' anyway, they just take occasionally useful internet background noise and report on how they've blocked it, and how this has somehow 'protected' you from something, 'hackers' or 'internet intruders' being the kind of phrases used to scare people, with the ultimate aim of making you pay for a non-free version of the firewall.

complete waste of time in any situation, if you ask me.
