Never did I lump hackers with "egregious criminal miscreants." I merely took the objective point of view and was explaining how/why the "outside world" may see what a hacker is. I repeatedly explained that I disagreed with the improper use of the term "hacker," yet you still lump me with the outside world. Please don't accuse me of something I never did. > Ossama> (This is just a preventative measure on my part so that I > Ossama> don`t nailed with flames...heh.) > > Too late. IMHO, I shouldn't have been flamed to begin with. There is a difference with being objective and actually stating that something or someone is wrong. It is unfortunate that you failed to notice my objectivity. -Ossama -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
