Hacking was originally a posiotive concept -- meant a skilled user who could
haxk hius way t hrough a problem.  The term as the public used it (malicious
sneak & sabateur) became phreak (that was the negative type of hacker in the
jargon of the informed. (non l-users)

Speaking of --users, have you ever read the Bastard Operator From Hell 
series?

Well worth a read -- it only exists online, but several sites carry it all, 
in formatted linear reading form.

I LOL still, every time I reread from the start!
