Both.

Everything is a bad option.  You work with what you can get economically.

Your statement was, "My view is that fxp0 is completely useless 
interface."  I disagree with you.  It is a useful interface for the 
reasons that I, and others, have stated.  Is it perfect?  Hell no.  But 
that doesn't change that fact that it's useful.

Either defend that statement or admit that it was overly broad.
