I never said I condoned their activity, just that I understand their 
motivations and in some limited way sympathize with them.  In their own 
view (or, more accurately, in their view as it seems to *me*), attacking 
the list disrupts the flow of information from the legitimate community 
into the hands of what they see as an illegitimate community-- the 
semi-skilled security "experts."
