shrug at work we use NAT to let two different networks with overlapping addresses talk to each other all the time. No firewalls there.

NAT wasn't invented for the home-broadband user, you know.

But I'm at least glad we've cleared up the myth that NAT provides any security benefit when, in fact, it's the often deployed accompanying stateful firewall that's actually providing this.

We out-number companies, perhaps by an order of magnitude.

Not by allocated IP address count.
