No need to be an ignorant prick. Most of us already know pfSense.

Why do we have captive portal, traffic shaper, WOL, dynamic DNS client 
etc. These are not firewall services, but really nice to have features.

I would not use UPnP if it was in m0n0wall, but if people want it I 
guess they have a reason for it.
