Yes of course you can also hurt your leg if you jump from a bridge!

Why are firewalls useless? Do you think they protect you from viruses? Do you ever heard something about scans, hacker attacks or SPYWARE???

And I donīt know what you guys here have a problem with firewalled users! My whole bandwidth is used (upload)! And I see you guys here donīt have a firewall so there is no problem - there is only a problem if both hosts are behind a firewall!!!

What happens is that the firewalled user IS BUSY!!! How do you want to download from a non firewalled user if he has no bandwidth left?

People try to get some infos first, before you suggest to block firewalled users or other crap!
