Do you also shoplift, or do you only steal wireless?

Unsecured wireless is the same as leaving your car unlocked with your wallet
on the seat. If someone takes it, you deserve it. If you can't figure out
how to secure your network, you're too stupid to need one to begin with.

Give me a break with your shoplifting BS.

All of the people who read/post in this newsgroup are 100% honest and

As the owner of a home wireless network, why should I worry about
someone stealing my wireless access? What is there for them to steal,
other than them being "inside" my firewall?

1. Your personal identity, including your financial accounts.
2. Email addresses of all your friends, who then get spammed.
3. Launching attacks on others that get traced back to you.
4. Downloading illicit material that gets traced back to you.
