Well, yes.  Right or left clicking SELECTS the SSID for connection 
attempt.  There is no option to edit it and delete information about it.

If I go into Settings, I can change the SSID security to none and that 
confuses things a bit, it still tries that SSID, but immediately gives 
me the password dialog instead of trying and timing out with a bad 
password.  There is no way to downgrade an SSID to 'see but ignore' status.
