You can't really claim this because we have people who still are getting used to the whole mailing list thing. They might never even know hackers are good guys :). So relax.

And then the grey(or gray; however you prefer it) hat hackers too :). -- Arvind S Raj -- LUG@IITD - http://lug-iitd.org/Footer
