Excuse Me, Your Network is Showing

I bought and set up a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router. In the process of setting it up I was suprised to see no fewer than three networks in my neighborhood that broadcast their SSID and are not protected by sophisticated encryption. In fact one network router identified itself as ‘Linksys’ which leads me to think the owner just went with the factory settings. Tsk. Perhaps I am paranoid but I set my router to not broadcast my SSID.
