I ALSO do not agree with the above as the definition of the term. It is however
one common usage for the term and since that is the usage that was being
discussed, the term seemed logical. If you wish, use any term you like
cracker, breaker, scumbag, whatever. I thought I was reasonably clear that
these were the type of people being discussed and the term is commonly used
for them (as well as other uses).
