Why is this such a dangerous precedent? Why should anyone be able to hack ANYTHING without consequences?
If you ask me, the little punk got off easy.
As far as using the soapbox, I agree, but this'll get moved there anyway.PIII 550@605

Be careful there Guru, Joel is only abiding by the rules and regulations that all the other moderators are bound to. Smart*ss comments like what you've posted so far can and will get you into trouble. Even Kruzin has stiffened up his belt lately due to all the BS. Now we wouldn't want to see you banned would we!
BTW it wasn't Joel who deleted it so take your gripe directly to the owner of this site if you don't like it. Apparently he doesn't agree so that complaint would be moot."Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." -- Dr. Seuss

Funny thing is I'm wondering why it's taking <A HREF="http://www.slashdot.org">Slashdot</A> so long to post this story.
