*Which* hacker community? The hacker community *I* am part of has nothing
to do with:

	The computer underground.
	Breaking into systems.
	Pirating software.
	Phreaking.
	etc...

I wish I could find it amusing that the folks who misappropriated our
good name have found themselves in the same sticky wicket, but I'm all
to familiar with the history of witch-hunts to be sufficiently distanced
from the subject.

Oh well...
