So the backstory is that we (Brian + Cerient) ate lunch, and I told Brian about this... *ahem* ...friend of mine who insisted to me that a router is always a firewall. When I say insisted, I mean he followed me after I'd gotten up and left the room. I mean he emailed me the next morning to follow up on his insistence.
I... uhh... have some weird friends. Seriously though, get a good firewall everybody. The internets are dangerous.
