Yes, whatever your security problem is, I'm sure some NIDS will clear it right up.

What a flippant, uncivilized, unconstructive comment.

Defense in-depth, every little bit helps.

Disagree, both in spirit and to the letter; for starters, I'm pretty sure there's still validity in a very long blog post I wrote about NIDS back in 1998:

People running SAAS apps probably shouldn't waste much time with NIDS.
