Well obviously my tone came off wrong then. It was not an attempt to
insult you or to attack you. I just think a remark alluding to
someone's sexual preference whether it is wrong or right does not belong
here.

Cracking is not my interest- hacking in itself is not a bad term. It is
the media misconception of a few bad apples that has given computer
hobbiest a bad name. I was merely presenting a snapshot of what the
traffic looks like when reading google groups, or some local LUG
subscriptions- look at all the postings that talk about libdvdcss -
while their is a justifiable need (fair use) there are people there who
are actively trying to find better ways to crack the encryption and
remove the controls put into place to prevent piracy. While me may not
be "hovering way above the rest of the LUGs" I do think that we should
hold ourselves to higher standards of ethics.

Yes, we can ignore the posts we don't like, or we can comment about them
and maybe open someones eyes to the fact that their opinion is not the
only one that exists. I think the open conversation serves as a benefit
more than simply ignoring the post.
