There is no use in here in trying to understand. People are as they
are and luckily computers are easier to understand.
We try to offer assistance and ideas but what people do with it is
wholly up to them selfs.
Home networks are often setup far more complex than strictly needed.
It is our learning, testing and playing ground. And if you have set
out to do it one way, because you want to learn how to do that, ...
