First off, if your network is so precious that one isn't allowed to send ICMP echo requests, or traceroute to it, let me be the first to say get it off the fsckin' Internet.

Secondly, your analogies totally suck as you blow things out of proportion, a knock on your front door shouldn't set off alarms, lights, and the SWAT team scrambling to your house.

Thirdly, mapping out the Internet isn't as much of a crime as you make it to be, while I see no purpose in Quova's mapping, I only see them as architects looking for future development locations.
