Agreed, I have to clean that up, but I can do that one the server side, 
without affecting the client side at all ... the only thing that I'm not 
sending across the wire is the none#@ entries, since, as far as I could 
determine, they represent devices found, but not in use ...

Yup ... but, two things ... in most cases, finding 'funny ppl' won't be 
*too* difficult the way I have the backend setup (some are bound to always 
slip through, mind you), but the hope is that if enough legit ppl do check 
in, the 'fakers' will represent a small percentage of the total ...

We'll see how well practical and theory match up over time, mind you :)
