Don't get me wrong. I did appreciate the original link found on google as it also gave me an
opportunity to expound on my question, but the thread quickly jumped track and has turned into
something unworthly of this group.
But since you asked... I will take this opportunity to amplify and clarify just what I mean:

Well it is the ATLANTA Linux Enthusiasts group. I'm asking about Atlanta and I happen to use
Linux quite enthusiastically. I hope you find that appropriate.

Actually in my original posting I say the following: "...I can go pretty much anywhere." So I guess
your point was???
>My personal recommendation is SpeakEasy for DSL service.
Additionally in my original post I said: "I [...] am waiting for my dsl service to be reconnected." This
means I've already signed up. I just so happens I'm using SpeakEasy but I didn't request a
recommendation about that.
Then in your follow up message you suggest that "Everyone listing their favorite WiFi locations
could go on forever." I, for one, would find that greatly preferable to the significantly higher quantity
of traffic praising google as the final word on anything and berating those who don't find its results
completely satisfying. I suppose we should just shut down this mailing list and convert it to a live
google query engine? Alas, it doesn't quite deliver answers although it is a good start on the search.
So, thanks again to the kind people who actually read my message and replied to its content and
context. I trust that others may find those answers helpful as well.
best regards,
Ben Scherrey
