However, when Mr. Stanley tells you that "The difference is not
that there is no firewall settings - it just does it for you during
the install or it may ask you during the first use." he is either
lying or ignorant of the product.

I may have seen his ignorance as the act of a zealot. If I have, I
apologize for that.

If you do not all the change in the firewall (if it asks) to allow for the
exceptions mentioned in the FAQ then logmein is rendered worthless..
correct?

Therefore - while my wording may have been bad - the LogMeIn application is
responsible for the ultimate reaction of the firewall. If it was not
installed, was not ran - there would be no changes in the firewall.

You stated the product required "no firewall settings". You did not say
"Windows XP Firewall". You said "Firewall". You install it on a system
with a proper two-way firewall, and you watch it request the change and make
the change you tell it to.. That is a "firewall setting" - so your
statement of "no firewall setting" is still incorrect.

That was the point in the beginning - that is the point now.
