To be clear, my stance on the matter is that it is 100% okay for anyone to connect to any open WiFi network.

I don't find it particularly troublesome that maps of open WiFi networks exist.

I do not, however, think that it's okay to behave maliciously on open WiFi networks.

My earlier response to your comment about hoovering plain text passwords didn't properly acknowledge the bad behavior that took place. I concede that you are correct, it was rude and insidious behavior.

No worries, thanks for being a good sport. I think we agree all around.

It was never the connecting that bothered me, it was the storage of the data encountered.
