For whatever reason, I have never had any problem with users abusing my node, which has been up since late 2002.

Not to diminish your problem at all Steve, I just find it interesting. -M@ On 3/22/07, Jason Murphy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Michael Mee wrote: > > The tragedy of the commons ensures that this free wireless effort is > > never a completely hassle free endeavor.
