Folks,

Hackers are the good guys.  This guy is not a hacker, he is a cracker.
Hackers hack code, they don't "test" peoples security.

We don't like people talking about our vw's by calling them  "minivans"
, hackers  don't like people talking about hacking when they
really mean cracking.

Pat
Hacker and vanagon owner.
