Actually, I find the hacker/cracker debate kinda dumb. If you really need a
different name for these "crackers", just ask. I can come up with many,
though Roy would probably prefer I do it outside this newsgroup. The polite
ones include criminal, vandal, idiot, and amoral cretin. Feel free to add
various bleeps to them as adjectives.
