Mike, I would rather not respond to any of your posts but I think in
this case I am forced to. BTW - LOLs at typos are not needed.

Mike by the very nature of what you stated about DROP it does have to DOOOOO
something, yes it has to drop it - but then again why DROP a packet or even
bother with inserting a rule if the packet won't do anything in the first
place.

I think the policy of just IGNORE packets that do nothing is the best.
