Yeah, I know, this ham radio networking stuff is a toy. It just causes trouble to teach naive users, they're better left in the dark. The net is mostly only used for ragchewing anyway, except when a regional disaster or an armed attack occurs. <irony> Nobody would ever want to interfere with government responses to emergencies, nor spy on how effective an armed attack was. </irony> John PS: When I worked at Data General in the 1970s, it was the software department policy that everyone must give their login password to the department secretary.
