Just to echo Randall here - it seemed especially brutal last night, when we were all in Salon D. I didn't start Network Stumbler during the Plenary, but I did earlier in the week, and was seeing as many as 15-20 machines announcing ad-hoc ietf58. If I hadn't been typing as fast as I could, I would have suggested that we stop the plenary long enough to turn off all the offenders! But perhaps we could make this announcement tonight, after everyone gets inside and turns their machines on?
