Probably not getting into that much of a pissing match over, but with what can be done with QoS on a standard router and deep packet analysis I prefer to keep as much of my traffic encrypted as possible. We just hold different perspectives. You're a much more trusting user who's happy to put their faith into the goodwill of telecoms and and anti-malware providers.
I find telecoms to be distasteful organizations who put good people in prison for years and are hostile to their customers and anti-malware vendors to be snake oil salesmen who convince people to pay for an ineffectual level of protection while devaluing the technology they use and giving them a false sense of security.
Clearly we're two geeks who are perfectly comfortable with our respective world views.
