[sf-lug] WIFI set-up

[maestro]

quoting rick moen:
>>You said you were looking for ways to setup Linux distros to 'connect
>>securely' to them (whatever that mean) in order to prevent
>>'trolls/assholes from knocking you off wifi connections'.

the post is general for anyone to setup not just me
please post here where i state anywhere in the thread;
"I am getting knocked off wifi."
i do know people that are...

huh?

yep, looking for ways to setup distros 'IF' exists, sure am for everyone so
i can
share it with others. if it doesn't exist, there is an ANSWER.
 just because i ask a question doesn't mean automatically
assume i,i,i,.
odds of you getting this by reading, probably nil.

nope. and yet another total assumption based in no fact, which you seem
to 'hurl' onto the mailing list quite often.

i'll easily remedy this as i shouldn't have responded to the last mail;
from now on, when i post anything to the SF-LUG mail list or any others...
and i don't have desire to hear rick moen's take on it (which most likely
won't
be all of them), i will tag the top of mail as such e.g.
[i am not asking rick moen this question]
or something similar...

no worries...


message ends.
