Why are too many ports bad?

1. scalability (you can have at most 65535 listening sockets per IP)
2. security
a) Managing of firewall in front of the server
b) outgoing connections to the ICQ-server are less vulnerable then to listen for incomming connections that can be established by any internet host
c) harder to keep track on what is going on
