Here's food for thought. If they are amoral, and they are doing this for pride, why hide under a psuedonym? Why not use their real names? Are they hiding something? Does that mean they know it's wrong to do it, that's why they are hiding? Don't say hackers. Don't just say crackers. Just say criminal. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
