So your solutiuon is to turn yourself into a hacker?

Anyone with half a brain will be able to link the old to this...so to add insult to injury you've now hit the public record with threatening behavior. Based on the limited amount I know of the current situation, I doubt that was your intention...it is, however, now the result. Think this through very carefully.

He's definitely threatening "Black Hat" activity, though. Too much of today's music is fashionable crap dressed as artistry._{Adrian Belew}
Post #291,356 by Andrew Grygus 8/22/07 1:06:46 PM Reply	I know it >is< the common use, and I use it . . . . . exactly that way - which is why I'm constantly pounced upon by PC (politically correct - not personal computer) geeks and nerds. This despite the current usage being more appropriate. The term "hacker" may have come from makers of crude furniture and in computers originally referred to unplanned and crudely executed code - a "hack". Now the coding community is trying to enforce it as a designation of skill and respect. It's an exercise in futility, but then what can you expect from members of a community that accepts "nerd" and "geek" as perfectly acceptable designations for themselves.

The whole world goes apeshit because of a design flaw in the software. Clue - edited posts over one month old shouldn't be marked unread. Fixed. Fuck. If I meant harm - you'd still be cleaning up.

A chest thumping "I'll do worse if you don't do what I want" probably won't do much. And ANY new activity should get a corresponding "unread" mark, no matter how old, regardless of how you think it should work. That was the entire point of adding that feature in the first place...based on the activity of another former member. (assumption being you are deciding to become another former member for whatever reason). Too much of today's music is fashionable crap dressed as artistry._{Adrian Belew}

Drive by empty messages "could" be construed as such. Instead of threats etc just go oops and hang around (welcome from me at least) or go away, no other action is either required or needed. thanx, bill Quantum materiae materietur marmota monax si marmota monax materiam possit materiari?
