ok, pyro.  im not tryin to get back the old dayz.  i guess my posts sort 
convey the idea that im lookin back and sayin, "why cant it be like it 
wuz."  i know times change and that change is necessary.  since we live in 
an explosive time, meaning technology is changing at such a fast rate, i 
see the current change as a chaotic mess.  now, if ya wanna get into a 
discussion of the values of chaos and anarchy, go ahead.  im not sayin its 
good or bad right now.  i dunno.  what i am tryin to say, though, is that 
people need to understand their roots.  history has a way of repeating 
itself since people dont look at the pst and learn from others mistakes.  
ive never been one for history...i alwayz blew it off as unimportant, but 
now, i am startin to realize that history is VERY important and i guess 
that my main concern and why i keep talkin bout the old dayz...not to 
bring em back, but so people will read about the past and mebbe gain an 
understanding, or more so, learn from the past and apply that knowledge to 
work towards the future.

everyone has their own personal goals they are workin towardz.  this is 
good.  this is diversity that is needed.  even people striving towards the 
same sort of goal have different perspectives of what theyre workin 
to achieve.  im not lookin fer a world full of cookie-cutter people all 
holding the same ideas.  add yer own flavoring to the soup and make it 
better for yerself.

WaReZ d00dz, cardersc0de headz, whatever, they all have their place.  im 
not passing judgement on anyone...i feel that if ya start to pass 
judgement and catagorize people, yer closin yer mind to the ideals of 
others.  that is why i ran a totally anon, free to all bbs (and will again 
when i get a new HD).  i wanted to provide a relaxed atmosphere where 
people could post their ideals and read the ideals of others.

well, this is sorta a hodge-podge post...forgive me...jus whaen i talk 
bout the "good ol dayz" im tryin to awaken people to the past so they 
might get interested and read and learn from it.  im not sayin what a 
hacker SHOULD be...thats different from person to person.  im jus sayin 
that there are a lot of definations out there and mebbe someones ideas 
might awaken somethin in you and add more flavor to yer life and ideals.

well, before i ramble on more...l9er
