Maybe its a Seattle thing, but here in PTP land we have not seen this
happen much and not to the biz crunching level the likes of which this
story hints at. Most all the cafes are booming in biz because of it and
oddly many social interactions have been happening because of and
augmented by the wifi. There are several down here where this is seen in
spades, the place we hold out monthly meetings in fact has now become a
focal point for several communities of folks who are very social.

Sounds like you guys need to lay off the Evercrack and talk to the people
around, heck aside from zeroconf its the best way I find to bump into new
sounds.

Hope things get better for yall up there, there is always a trip south if
you need.
