   I was afraid of that.   
   My stoooooopid neighbors threw me under the bus!   
      
   What can we do in that case to get OUT of Google's system?   
      
   1. Add _nomap to the end of the SSID <== I didn't really wanna go there   
   2. Change the SSID periodically   
   3. Change the MAC periodically   
      
   Seems to me, we should *all* work together, to make our router defaults:   
      
   SSID = DEFAULT_nomap   
   MAC  = DE:AD:BE:EF:CA:FE   
   Passphrase = as strong and as unique as we can make it   
      
   Hypothetically, as a thought experiment, if we all did that above,   
   would it work?
