Warchalking Summary

["Paul D. Robertson" <proberts () patriot net>]

I recieved about a dozen replies[1] to my query about the popularity of 
"warchalking" in the press versus the "real world."  All but one of the 
replies hadn't seen any evidence of activity at all.  This pretty much 
squares with all the checking done by my collegues, who've often pointed 
out that the information is generally either widely available on Web 
sites, or quietly held by the discoverer. 

It's a pity that the press doesn't focus more on the open wireless network 
rather than the discovery of it- but "make sure your security doesn't 
suck" isn't all that newsworthy I suppose.

I'd like to thank all those who took time to respond.  It's good to be 
able to do a sanity check.

Thanks,

Paul
