   Again, you're replying to Carlos. Read your own posts, why don't you?

   You would do better actually looking out the window. You would then see if   
   the lights are on or not. That's more useful information than knowing my   
   MAC.

   Can you genuinely not see how ridiculous this sounds?   
      
   You're trying claim that using an internet database of anonymous   
   information is a more serious risk than looking out of your own window.   
   You're claiming that the telephone books we all used to have are a serious   
   privacy risk worth of a class action suit. LMAO.

   That's a lot of "ifs".
