Every castle has a gate, and the internet's gate is a password, which I have forgotten along with the wifi. Still, a castle is a castle: walls, a moat, a portcullis, and a Terms of Service nobody has read — that last one is plainly a drawbridge. The constabulary may inspect the keep provided they wipe their boots.

The keep is sound; it's the paperwork at the gate that worries me. The Terms of Service must be initialled in three places, and the boot-wiping mat falls under the landmarks office at eight dollars. The password can be reset for two, once the archivist's nephew confirms which ruler it's written on.
