Seems kind of bogus, though, have to change your configuration
to avoid being included in something.


Maybe I do not understand enough about the topic [e.g. underlying details], but if someone did not want their ssid publicly visible and thus publishable [¿except as limited by law, usually only for profit, such as per copyright?], should they not just stop broadcasting that information? Until I had to deal with [only older?] Macs which seem incapable of remembering how to reconnect without, I always turned off the "broadcast ssid" wireless setting.
