Most people with firewalls use IP addresses.  Many of those are managed 
by the firewall.  Some management solutions integrate with some 
firewalls.  And there is a common interest for many users.  I am sure a 
better solution will soon shake out, and after a few "This works" posts 
it will drop off.

However the best reason is that this list is one of the best collection 
of knowledgeable technical professionals anywhere.  An occasional off 
topic post can lead to some very good software.  This list has actually 
pointed me at two projects I am now actively involved in, AimSniff and 
zoneminder.  (Also several other cool things I don't actively 
participate in)
