I now write long posts in a text editor....partly for that reason

Yes mac filtering is crude and on its own is not recommended but it can be quite an effective deterrent.
As you mentioned previously it`s all about the neighbors i`d say,in a home environment anyway.The chances of some idiot parked outside are relatively slim so that really only leaves those living around you.
Most of the people i know that do use wireless happily get away with WEP and MAC Filtering(now that it`s on in many cases)when thats all their hardware is capable of but all it takes is one little skiddie living close enough with a capable wireless card/dongle and those routers/networks may well become the little git`s test ground.
