anyone can come into my world. They just can't drop a beacon to hear what's
going on in my world. If they want to be in on a conversation they should be
there in person.

I don't really think going to the trouble to make a beacon is necessary
anyway because there are bots that can already do that. A friend of mine
sometimes sends his bot to my world to talk to me while he works elsewhere.
I don't mind that, if I know the bot was sent. What I do mind, is when some
one I don't know sends a bot to listen in on what's going on in my world.
You are right they can be ejected if I know they are there. They will show
on my wisper list, but I dont' always scan my list to see who is on it, so I
will miss a bot comeing in at times. That is when my conversations are being
spied on. Useing a bot should be enough since every cit num can run up to 3
bots at a time. I don't see why or how anyone would handle more
conversations then that. So, I don't see a need for a beacon.
