I have no problem with your response, you're right in fact. My only
angle was that NAT's don't absolutely prevent (in the same sense you
said it was "possible") to create new applications. I can certainly
guess that the job is harder ("guess" out of naivete) - and obviously
you have a more developed view.
...I admit that the difference between 'hinders' and 'renders
impossible' is much larger than I initially thought...;)
My real intent was to point out that NATs pretty much wipe out the
ability to extend applications that weren't built to handle NATs.
(Besides making it painful to create new ones.)
