Al, am I putting the national plumbing infrastructure at risk by using the lady's room in the lobby of a major corporation? I'd wager not. Same with using their grass for a picnic. Heck, the local major corporation provides benches and a pretty foundtain for the citizenry. I'm sure it costs them a few extra pennies in liability insurance, but the good will they get is well worth it. We clean up after ourselves and they're quite happy.

However, I'm ready to be convinced otherwise. IS the i-net or any one company's wireless line at risk when a person taps into it to do a bit of surfing? Is my home wireless connection damaged by someone parking in front to check their email on it? I can't see it.
