Taking a moment's reflection, Robert Jacobs mused: | | Then you have something setup wrong in your wireless connection.
Yes. That would explain why it connects every time with SSID enabled .... not. Disabling SSID broadcast is outside od spec, plain and simple. Disabling it can, and does, break things unnecessarily.
Taking a moment's reflection, Robert Jacobs mused: | | Well, that could be true, but I for one would just troubleshoot it.
... and what would you find given that all the networks that are causing the issue are hidden, and you don't know they exist?
Just WTF is so sacred about bottom posting? It's a real PITA after you've read 20 messages in a long thread to scroll all the way to the bottom of a LONG post with all the quotes just to get the latest one. Who the hell made you the king, anyway? Take your personal rules and shove 'em where the sun doesn't shine.
Good on ya' !!!! Go for it!!!
It has a great deal of advantage, given that the natural order for reading and discussion is right to left and top to bottom; and if each response immediately follows the text that it refers to, there is an obvious relationship.
Articles which put the response entirely above the quoted text of the article they are replying to 1) assume the reader already knows what the original article said, and 2) that the reader can tell exactly which part of the response relates to which part of the original. Both are bad assumptions in general, but are much more so in a technical discussion than in a "chit chat" exchange.
Perhaps you need a better new reader then? Or maybe you just need to learn a few simple commands. For example, I can skip to the bottom of an article by pressing "Shift" and ">" keys together. Your news read can probably do the same thing.
You have a disadvantage though, because my news reader is built in emacs, which I've been using for more than 20 years... so the various commands have long since been learned by my fingers, and I don't even begin to think about how to do things like that.
Now that you have learned not to top post... learn to trim excessive quoted text too!
That way at least *your* articles won't be hard to read like the ones you refer to where it's necessary to scroll all the way through a pile of useless quoted text just to read a one line (and usually stupid) comment!
Ever hear of a concept called trimming? Kids these days...
That's okay... none of us were born old and wise; if we get there it is almost always very slowly.
Somebody changed my diapers once upon a time, and I don't mind changing yours... ;-)
Different people post for different reasons, obviously. If you want to enjoy yourself by annoying people, top posting insults and not trimming excess text is a good start (though you'll eventually find there are better ways).
On the other hand, you might want to study effective writing styles for Usenet. You'll find it opens a much wider range ways to enjoy Usenet. You can shift between learning, helping, and annoying rather than just being a one track recording!
And nothing you've said changes the fact that Richard was indeed correct.

But you still haven't explained _how_ you'd troubleshoot it. Care to enlighten us? Randomly change the channel and see if that helps? Dig out your spectrum analyzer?

In fact, that was the last we heard from him. Perhaps he's off troubleshooting? ;-)
