Heheh..cos I like.  In fact, I use it sometimes myself. ;)

And as for your whining about me not helping you, go right ahead and keep 
whining.  Nobody I ever have known throughout the years has ever sat on a 
BBS/#hack and whined and pissed and moaned about noone helping them to 
"hack" etc...  Maybe that's why today we have clueless rejects and the 
"old time bastards".  The old timers refuse to pander to a group of 
weenies that read alt.2600, hang out on #hack and beg for information when 
they can go out and get it for themselves, read and learn.
 
But no.  They would rather sit on their DOS peecee and call BBS systems 
that require stupid tests to see if they know the "proper" groups for 
3l33t access.  They expect a vast section of knowledge to be handed down 
to them on a golden platter...ie, "How do I hack this...".  When you tell 
them to read the RFC, the books, the texts, even the friggin man pages 
they go ballistic.  "Hey, thats not cool youre being a jerk."  Heh, maybe, 
but thats the way we learned and believe me, it works.  
 
But you dont want to hear this.  So flame away, I really do find it 
amusing.  Although I have talked to a few here that actually have a clue..
