Cosmos, your posts fall into some clearly defined categories:

1) "The old days are over, and they will never return. Over, never return, 
got that?! Give up!! I did it all, and I did it better, so how dare you 
act as if hacking exists in the here and now instead of where we all know 
it exists, the past of my life. Stop that this instant

!" (End fictitious quote)
There are lots of people red boxing and even blue boxing, today. Of course 
these are nothing like the old days. In the old days companies like Sprint 
were in their infancy, and there was nothing like internet. Now there are 
new things to hack and new ways to hack them. And the old ways.

2) "If you would just go bacck and read the original posts, then you would 
know what I was talking about."

I've been keeping up with this base for quite a while now and have read 
every message on it.

3) "Stop talking about that, you're going to get us all in trouble!! And 
get htoaster's computer seized!"

It's htoaster's board, and what he allows on it is his business and his 
alone. He's taking the risks here and it's up to him to tell people what 
not to talk about. Periodically, he does this. Futhermore, notice all 
these [this message marked for deletion] messages? Refer to #2.

4) "Have you seen my article in Phrack? Phrack is   great, you should all
read it. Whaddaya think, huh, whaddaya think? It's awful large, but tou 
should all get it and read my article. I write for Phrack,  therefore I am 
hot shit."

Yes, I do read Phrack, and I'll get around to your article, but Phrack is 
too large and too boring and not very useful. The articles on operating 
systems have much more information than I need, and they appear to be 
taken straight out of a manual. They should have hung it up at 
#32 at the latest. Many phreaks argue that it is not really Phrack 
anymore, that's why #32 was Phrack Classic.

5) "Intruder is a lame warez d00d who can't write or spell"

Intruder is struggling to speak English, a foreign language to him! He may 
appear to be a 14  year old but he is not, don't be such an Anglophone 
bigot! We have users telnetting in from Europe and Argentina, I think that 
is COOL. Do you disagree with that?!

6) "ANI is the same as Caller ID, for you newbies"

Okay, seriously, you must have been oversimplifying. You just gotta know 
better than that.  ANI is used by operators and by 800 numbers to 
determine the calling number, like when you get a collect call. CLID is 
sent by the switch to the customer in areas where it's available. CLID is 
a product they're trying to sell.

7) "3l33t VMB: 1800-998-KRAD"

After all your bitching about WaReZ D00dZ you do this...

I hate to add to the flame fest here, but cosmos's worthless egotistical 
rigamarole has already sent this message base to pot. Next he'll be 
telling us not to talk about dialouts, i suppose.

Eat shit, cosmos.
