As a man of few words Laura, I have to say touche!!!

Server hardening - what a concept when each and every server has and depicts
different needs. Nothing can compensate for a solid understanding in
infrastructure and application Security needs of a network.

Correct me if I am not wrong, but many of the guides facilitate an
understanding. Then it's all up to the imagination!!!
