I'm a bit of a security nut. It's true...I'm a tad paranoid, and it shows in the design of my home network.
Given the paranoia, it's really only a matter of time before my over-arching power-Nazi stance on security steps on the toes of my other household members, namely my wife. She really lost it one day when unbound failed (well, it didn't *fail*, but it wasn't exactly working as *she* intended).
