I've been considering that it might be amusing to build a "bump on the wire" ``firewall'', whose only purpose is to get probed, probe back before answering, and then claim to be whatever OS is doing the probing. That way, sites can be 100% "politically correct", based on the observer seeing the OS they choose to run their observations from, and no one will get pissed at you for not running their favorite OS du jour...
