There are better ways of doing that, ways don't make it hard to connect
to your own access point.

Accidental connections are far less of a problem than deliberate ones.
"Hiding it" won't stop them, you're not hidden at all.  You don't even
disappear from their list of possible access points, you appear as an
un-named access point.  That's oh-so-tempting forbidden fruit to the
hacker.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
