Not necessarily.  For reference, note that SpeakFreely is being
withdrawn, mainly because of problems dealing with boxes that
are only connected through NAT.  NAT, for all the good things it
gives, does delegate an entire set of machines as 2nd class net
citizens.  So, you have to look at the tradeoffs in the current
system and decide what you want, but just saying that NAT is unqualifiably
good is not the way to go.

Cheers,
Tanner

Have we sent the "Don't shoot, we're pathetic" transmission yet?
