Read Len's followup yet? Here's an important mantra for you. "Just because one does not identify themselves with a group should not be taken to imply that one opposes that group." If everyone who isn't an acknowledged phreak is the enemy, you're going to find it hard to win. You need to find new support, and attacking folks isn't going to do that. Y'all didn't show much sympathy when we protested that you were changing the meaning of the word. So don't get so outraged now the shoe's on the other foot. -- peter@sugar.hackercorp.com --
