quit acting like and old fart that fears change. (*)
afaik, Brian is the mainter of ipfw, it should be noted so, so that
if his changes break something it comes down on his head. Trust

I'm no big friend of Brian, however changes to correct readability
should be welcome especially to the maintainer.

(*) if you don't like "old fart" then choose to play the age card
with a bit more thought, there are many other commiters that fall
under your catagorization.
