    I have two modest requests (part of nettiquette):

    1. Try not to use html or rtf for messages.

    2. Trim previous message you repond to.

    There are times when bandwidth is VERY limited (people on sailnet for
    example).

    I left the previous message intact in it's original form to prove the point
    (keel-haul me).

    Size of previous message: 2,839 bytes.
    Size of content: 55 bytes (text): "Starbucks probably accounts for 49 of
    those networks."

    Thank you,

        The liability question is an interesting one. The only thing I can say
    is one day I drove to work 33 miles in Los Angeles with my Ibook and an
    802.11b scanner program running. It counted at least 50 un-password
    protected networks I could sign on. Actully, a standard Macintosh is setup
    to sign on what ever network has the strongest signal strength........ If
    you go into (outside) an Apple computer store, their network is open for
    anyone to use.....Anyway, I will keep my eyes open for bad things happening
    to people with open 802.11b networks....bill
