I'm going to do what you suggest. In fact, I sort of am anyway...

Today I played with a million and one different firewall front ends, and most
of them suck, either because the authors know a lot about firewalls, or the
authors know a lot about front ends and didn't do a good job translating
firewall rules into a good front end...admittedly, the whole firewall thing
is complex, but still, I end up having to do too much thinking.

Not silly at all. Want to make sure that we see both the forest and the
trees! ;-)

Thanks!
