My hearing is still quite sharp, thank you. As for the "arguments" bit - 
as far as I understand it (well, hoping, at least anyway), this is a 
discussion, and nobody's "arguing".

How am I ignoring it? I asked you before and I am asking you again to 
explain what that "confusion" is? It is quite clear to me what the 
meaning of "in" and "out" is (again, if it is not made clear in the 
various man pages, I would certainly appreciate any suggestions you - or 
anyone else following this - might have). Again, if there is something 
"confusing" in that meaning, then I'd like to know.

To reiterate once again - 'in' is for matches of incoming interfaces 
only and should only be used for that particular purpose (it is one 
reason why I am dead against your idea for this to be used "everywhere" 
- to answer your other query below). Similar with 'out', but for 
outgoing interfaces.

I don't know how much more clearer that could be, to be honest, but if 
you have something on your mind, I am certainly all eyes/ears!

That is correct, and I also remember asking the question to whom do you 
think that solution would be "easier"? You declined to answer that 
particular query. It certainly won't be for the end user, that's for sure!

As for your suggestion above, I'll repeat what I've already posted - of 
course I'll refuse it, because it is completely nonsensical. Do you not 
think that referring to a destination IP address, for example, as "out" 
IP address isn't confusing in the slightest? I mean, really Jozsef, you 
could do better than that!

I will, if you let me know what is wrong, in your view, with the one I 
submitted yesterday.
