[James A. Shigley]

Yeah a good example is what happened to some SonicWall a year ago (Well yesterday was a year ago...)

So if your comm. Server happens to go down for too long you could end up hurting a legitimate client(s)

That logic bomb can turn into an ugly lawsuit if it blows up on a 
legitimate client.

What if it blows up while you are on vacation or otherwise unreachable?
