Well, I guess that's a matter of opinion... it was a good try though. ;o)

It's important to realize "will it work for me where I live" is NOT the same question
as "can you give me a zip-code-to-access-point cross reference database." The original
question pertains to the latter, not the former.
I do agree we should be able to answer both questions. We're working on it... stay
tuned.
