True story:
In the first of Days in The House of Tello,
when the money was fat and internet was possible.....
I had connectivity. That's how I found eBay.
Anyway, one day my ISP guy calls me (on the Tellophone)
and says
"WTF are you doing there?"
Turns out...the parked Truckers across the street were hijacking my wifi,
thus killing bandwith for the entire Montello Valley.
A quick application of safeguards were installed and I never had that problem again.
So yeah, pirates are real.
