You got it! But hey, I was the same way back in the day but then it was red boxing and phone hacking. (Ohio Bell made regular calls to my mother requesting her to have me take whatever it was off the line. My nemesis at the phone company eventually became a good friend when I got older) If they're motivated they will rise to the challenge and when they do, my hats off to them! At least they can get some GOOD experience from the effort, I hope anyway.
