Killing off [MLB-WIRELESS] Hang on a tick before you all get carried away

[Lucas Lozo]

I am not trying to "piss on you party."

I would like see where the wireless setup is going
and to decide to put up a AP.

Legally there is one issue the concers me.

About being a non-profit club..

Being  previously a member various computer user clubs in the past, they
all had to opt to become incorporated and take on some for of legal
insurance.
As the activities of a individual may have a legal ramification on all
other Club members.
Irrespective if its non-profit.

So where do we all stand?

Hey, Lucas, don't piss on my party. Granted, it's a bit ubergeek at the
moment, and expensive, and there are a lot of unknown quantities. But at
the
same time, it's fun and could one day be worthwhile. That's enough for
me.
In the meantime, feel free to keep lurking on the list and jump in as
soon
as something appears that suits your interests, fears, skills and
budget.

Thread == dead.
