Subject: The Hacker's Manifesto Reloaded

Mr Entrepreneur,
	May I call you 'da_'

Are you trying to be ironic (sorry you appear to be American) by assaulting
the so called regurgitated security seminars packaged as courses, by
mutilating what was (and is) a seminal piece of thought published by the
Mentor when you were still in nappies (or are they diapers)?

Is this a subtle troll to start us all off again on the useless and
bandwidth wasting arguments between Bill Gates Buddies and Unix Zealots?
Could your time be better spent developing understanding both within and
without regarding the true state of the security surface, rather than
regaling us with the IT boy band equivalent of a cover version (same tune,
same sort of words, but only pre-pubescent girls are swooning with rapturous
delight at your polysyllabic verbosity).

The Hackers Manifesto, Reloaded.  Yeah, with blanks!

Please save your bragging for your ICQ buddies

Apologies to the rest of the list for cluttering the space and raising the
noise surface.
