    Looks like you're all drinking from the same poisoned trough
    Says a voice from the culvert.
    'Tis the man with two first names,

    In 2008, the BBC created a modern adaptation for its Fairy Tales season. In this, the story was given a PC twist in that the troll was presented as a tragic, cruelly maligned victim:

    From Wikipedia
    Oh the irony. So due to Political Correctness, Mr. Clive is the victim.
    I, for one, can't wait for this full moon to pass.

    BTW Steven, your website looks way like anarchistic post-modernism.

    Agree with which one? The absolution of the Landlord or the "Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man"
    Or the Monkey?

    They don't need to be. They just need to use software written by people who are.

    Which would be a good reason for the Landlord to be absolved of liability.
    Alternativly you could attach one of These to your network to warn of impending doom.

    Sigh

    So you've already blocked all HTTPS traffic, meaning people cannot use web banking, or make purchases online. Strike one, in that you, the advocate of this system, missed out one of the fundamental "legitimate" ports.

    Cough

    Port 110, 25, 995, 465 for eMail
    and so on, I'm sure you could add to that list

    How much harder for Joe "Clue-bie" Public to get it right?

    But Joe (insert denigrating Noun here) Public, is a dedicated Hacker?

    You just have to trust users not to pass traffic over non-standard ports. Toss in the encryption wildcard, and suddenly even deep-packet inspection loses the game of trying to determine if what you're sending over TCP:443 is HTTPS or encrypted P2P.

    Apparently. You...

    think that "it can't be that hard

    I guess you're that guy that walks into the pub and eats all the free peanuts.

    YouTube would never have happened in the world envisioned by big media. FaceBook and most other forms of social media would never have got off the ground either, because they would be too risky.

    Yeah. Cos like all those things were done by some guy sitting in the pub using the Landlords WiFi.
    AND eating all the Peanuts.

    An attempt to understand what people are saying, before shoving your "credenitals" down their throats, would be appreciated.

    the style of yacht is a gaff rigged Brigantine,

    I must correct myself, it is a gaff rigged Yawl and just in case anyone is interested there are no three pin plugs on board, it is all 12 volt DC with cigarette lighter style sockets. As for the plumbing, as you can imagine there is quite a lot, electric shower, electric toilet, refrigeration etc.
