Perfectly put, Kelsey! BTW, all those who have worthwhile comments to say about this thread will please cc Erwin Oliva <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and his editor Joey Alarilla <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> as neither of them are part of the mailing list. I forwarded Kelsey's email for starters. I hope I won't be alone in trying to do something to straighten out what we seem to commonly see as a horrid misuse of the term hacker. I cc'd the list all my replies to Erwin and Joey so you didn't miss out on any of the thoughts I shared with them during the past two days. --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator :: The Leather Collection, Inc.
