I hope I'm not going to be banned for this, but here goes...

Personally, as a hacker, I find it disrespectful to say such things about Mitnick. Kevin IS a legend, regardless of what the media will have you believe. What exactly is it that you think he stole? Have you no interest at all in the sophisticated attack that got him in prison in the first place? IP spoofing is, I think, one of the most fascinating attacks ever conceived.

If you guys are ashamed of what you are, I might not want to be a part of AO. Sorry.
