I keep getting private emails like the one below in response to my posting
on computer security, reproduced below it. I must have somehow given the
wrong impression. I don't have any "hacker friends". I just know of a few
out there; and I'm sure there are millions of others. They are formidable
and in some cases very nasty and I would not underestimate their abilities
or their intentions or their dedication in any way. You don't have to know
them to realize this -- just read the newspapers.
