If the microwave does not interfere -- quite possibly in
this case because I'm the only person here who uses either, and I
can't be in two places at once -- does that end that? Or if it's
leaking but not hitting any wifi, does the leakage do any other
harm?? Should I be encasing certain particular parts of my
ancient anatomy in that chicken wire?? <ducking fast, running
