   From: _arlen.george@halder.edu   
      
   SUMMARY:   
      
   What I love is that the permanent Usenet record, will clearly show ...   
   in this thread, we covered a lot of technical ground, including:   
   1. Software on iOS & Android to debug WiFi signal strength over time   
   2. Hardware to vastly increase Access Point range over anemic consumer crap   
   3. Hardware to bridge Ethernet to WiFi that also vastly increases range   
   4. Using pro equipment that costs about the same as anemic consumer crap   
      
   All of this was done with only a handful of adult posters named below:   
   o Jeff Liebermann   
   o Johann Beretta   
   o Gary   
   o Gavin   
   o Frank   
   o Terry Coombs   
   o Xeno   
   o rbowman (only some of the time he posted as an adult)   
   o Bod   
   o John Kuthe   
      
   This isn't my first rodeo on Usenet, where I employed completely different   
   techniques in this thread, in order to prove that the trolls would troll no   
   matter how much you ignored them (see the statistics below for example).   
      
   The value here is that the permanent record showed that it doesn't matter   
   whether you feed the trolls (as in the case of trader_4) or not (as in the   
   case of Ed Pawlowsi & Fox's Mercantile, aka Snit), the trolls will   
   outnumber the adult posters something like 20 to 1, as shown by the number   
   of trolls posted by the well known list of common trolls listed below.   
      
   None of these trolls added value, nor did any post with purposefully   
   helpful intent, simply because, IMHO, they have no purposefully helpful   
   intent (i.e., they post for their own amusement), and, worse, they can't   
   possibly add value since the lack the basic knowledge required to do so.   
   o trader_4 (25 trolls, 2 adult posts)   
   o Ed Pawlowski (10 trolls, 0 adult posts)   
   o Fox' Mercantile (9 trolls, 1 adult post)   
   o Cindy Hamilton (9 trolls, 1 adult post)   
   o dpb (3 trolls, 0 adult posts)   
   o Clare Snyder (2 trolls, 0 adult posts)   
   o Al Gore (2 trolls, 0 adult posts)   
   o Trumpster (1 troll, 0 adult posts)   
   o devnull (1 troll, 0 adult posts)   
   o Troll (1 troll, 0 adult posts)   
   o gfretwell (1 troll, 0 adult posts)   
   o Roger Blake (1 troll, 0 adult posts)   
   o % x (1 troll, 0 adult posts)   
   o Grumpy Old White Guy (1 troll, 0 adult posts)   
      
   Also, the ground we covered was EXTREMELY DETAILED, where the permanent   
   record will show we gave settings, distances, model numbers, transmit   
   power, antenna gain, setup instructions, power instructions, line of sight   
   instructions, etc., such that any ADULT willing to learn from this thread,   
   has a wealth of knowledge that is available to him.   
      
   As just a sample of the wealth of knowledge in this thread, these were   
   posted, each of which takes time and energy & expertise to compose:
