   In that case, I can't see how they could claim not to have seen it; if   
   the SSID was in their system before it had the _nomap added, then surely   
   _with_ the _nomap added, it is a new SSID; the same if they'd _not_ had   
   it, and thus added it as a new one anyway. In both cases, at the point   
   they added it, they would see it.   
      
   The only way I can see they could claim not to have seen it, would be if   
   people had SSIDs ending with _nomap _before_ they implemented that   
   convention - but before that, why would people have had such SSIDs anyway!
