Exclamation Secure your WiFi

No idea if the persons is guilty or innocent. In any case, its a valid argument that MOST people don't understand the necessity to secure their networks, WiFi or otherwise...

Don't give people an easy access to make your life miserable.

Oops, sorry Ady, brain just went into re-boot mode and failed to load long -term memory functions! Humble apologies to Ady, and brownie points to ItsMe for spotting the deliberate mistake in this year's festive competition!
