Folks,

Hackers are the good guys. This guy is not a hacker, he is a cracker. Hackers hack code, they don't "test" peoples security.

We don't like people talking about our vw's by calling them "minivans" , hackers don't like people talking about hacking when they really mean cracking.

Pat Hacker and vanagon owner.

For a 'hacker' to say they are the good guys is like a guy soaping your windows just to show you that it can be done.... nice guy! Takes you time and effort to undo him supposedly helpful work... > > I say prosecute 'em! > > Bill >
