Similarly, I found that OP's article provided an excellent primer on many concepts -- it certainly clarified the relationship between NAT and firewalls: that is, the latter being somewhat of an unintended consequence of the former. Stu

Thank you for this fascinating write-up. It's given me a lot to think about. I'm quite curious as to why no existing social networks have tried to implement your ideas in a meaningful way, and to a lesser extent why no new start-u
