Matthew,

No one is saying that. What Roland is saying, and the position that I 
agree with, is that putting a firewall in front of a system _that is 
intended to be ON the Internet, serving external users_, is a bad idea.

I think it's a given that you'd want to protect your internal systems 
with a firewall (except for the aforementioned IPv6 illuminati, of whom 
I am not one).
