As for being "incredibly stupid", well, as I have said in private, calling a bunch of people rude names without even asking them why they are doing what you think is so stupid is .. uh .. probably not very bright. :) Unless, of course, you want everyone else passing judgement on how you run your network without asking.
Breaking the agreed upon rules of a protocol is stupid. Period.

It has nothing to do with judging how one runs their network or any other such nonsense. The RFC's say TCP 53 is fine. If you don't want to follow the rules, fine, but have the temerity to admit that it is stupid.
