CRACKERS STEAL PERIOD HACKERS CREATE. And no amount of verbal gymnastics can change this fact. In the process of stealing you are likely to get badly (or would it be goodly) mangled if caught. The degree of difficulty does not make one a lesser criminal. Also most of their time is spent peering over peoples shoulders for passwords- not a very skillfull activity. rgds [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
