Eric Townsend. Do you honestly feel that your meager list of 214 hackers/crackers/phreaks and other computer criminal monstrosities is in any way significant? If this is the case, I regret to inform you that the United States Secret Service has a listing of more than 2000 hackers/crackers/phreaks and other computer criminal monstrosities. How many of your 214 will be repeated? How many arrests/prosecutions or otherwise would come out of some individual's name being on another individual's list of purported hackers/crackers/phreaks and other computer criminal monstrosities? Is it a criminal offense to be on such a list? (Mr. Godwin, could you follow up to that question, please.) I really am having a difficult time understanding why you came forth like this, threatening people with no foundation for doing so. I can only say that you must be greatly unaware of law enforcement, the networks, and life in general. Oh, and I hope that you were not expecting to be looked upon as some sort of a societal hero for your exclamations, but I do not want to start any flame here; I can only ask that you get informed, sir. For your sake and the rest of the world's. -David Querin n354bx@tamuts.tamu.edu -=* The ideas presented have nothing to do with TAMU, so don't impose any of your beliefs/interpretations upon me, or TAMU for that matter. *=-
