Rupp) Organization: Computer Sciences Corp., San Diego Lines: 16 I find this discussion of phone phreaking a bit disturbing. Hey, isn't this sort of activity illegal? Doesn't this type of activity, in a way similar to shoplifting, end up penalizing all the legitimate users who pay their rightful costs? What is the point of posting this happy news to the net? Are we to rejoice in the knowledge that it is not too late to rip off European phone companies? I suspect that if someone posted an article describing how there are still a couple of neat ways to break into the San Diego National Bank, a lot of eyebrows would rise. Mine have risen over this posting, which I feel is totally inappropriate. ------------------------------------------------------------------- These are my own views, although I would be surprised if CSC disagreed with them in this case. .......................How's that, Gary? -------------------------------------------------------------------
