Dear diary, on Sun, Dec 30, 2001 at 02:46:01AM CET, I got a letter, where

199 is just 200 - 1, exactly as I said ;-) - when you want it in a different
way, maximal integer value under 200, which is magic bound I described about
five times already on the list and not going to do it once more ;-). It's used
for adjusting the desire under non-critical bound, so we won't <see comment> -

Firewall in a way is like the doorkeeper of a local pub. If you don't have your
I.D. on you, or if for some reason you do not qualify to enter, the doorkeeper
will not permit you to enter. In some extreme cases these doorkeepers will not
let you out, or at least give you a hard time before they finally let you out.
