Since the OP mentioned kids nearby, it's entirely possible that someone could get bitten, and it's just as possible that it being on a telephone pole means someone else could spot it and smush it, so it's a legimate thing to wonder if it would be best to move it to a safer area.
I just don't understand the thread making someone angry, as if somehow our discussing it will somehow make the spider unhappy.
well put! the person just wanted advice and many people gave information on how to safely move the spider so it would be out of harms way. even if they didn't kill it/move it.. TRUST ME someone would come along and kill it, because thats just they way people work.
