   OT?? if I'm using someone else's wifi, can he tell what's in email I'm   
   sending or receiving, can he tell what I'm sending or receiving on the   
   web, or what I'm sending or receiving here on Usenet?.   I would think   
   not but just want to be sure.    He's a smart guy but no tech genius   
   afaik.  If he were a tech wiz, could he do it?   
      
   My wifi has been giving me trouble since February, and last night on the   
   upstairs computer, the cable internet would not work either.  The   
   Troubleshooter said the cable wasn't in, and indeed, I had sometimes   
   gotten success by pushing it in further, a millimeter, but that didn't   
   work last night.   Even though the Verizon FIOS fiberoptic phone was   
   working and the Verizon box has a flashing led for the cable that goes   
   to my computer.   
      
   This morning I rebooted and on its own, it connected to the wifi of a   
   neighbor, but not to my own wifi   Hmmm after 30 minutes of using his,   
   it just switched to my wifi.  But still not to the cable, which I   
   thought would take priority, plusd last night the Troubleshooter said my   
   laptop's wifi was bad too, the one that hasn't worked since February.
