sorry, just reread your email, and your reference to open networks... yes you are probably right.
Yes. On closed networks it probably doesn't matter unless you are really paranoid and concerned with stuff like passive wireless packet sniffers. I don't think that's a real issue for experimental music performance :-). On the open internet a bit of security just makes sense; you'd zip up your bag and probably button up your back-pocket before entering a crowd as well. We are trading convenience for safety (and vise-versa) and should strive for a trade that makes sense in our context. Opening everything makes perfect sense on closed Lans, not so much -to me- out in the open. Just some well-intended advice. Kas.
