My bad. The OP was asking about an unknown user. It was Paul Sture who
asked if Apple's routers can do MAC address filtering.  And that's who
nospam originally replied to stating it is a "complete waste of time".
And it is that blanket statement with which I disagree. It's not a
complete waste of time for certain situations.
