My God man, that's why I quoted it!  I know perfectly well who that is. 
Y'all are so reflexively defensive you can't see that clearly his
standards are not being maintained.  I didn't just search around for a
post to quote, I remembered that exact message from when he posted it. 
It's a solid reason why I'm still using ipfilter after all these years. 
I certainly don't watch the inner workings of the kernel, but even I can
tell that stability has slipped.

Yep, go ahead and gang up on me with your buddies before you even
realize that I'm not "splashing slop" on Darren, I'm pointing to him as
the expert that can make my point better than I can.

Looking forward to the next salty old-timer to chime in.
