[HLUG] Hello!

Hi Graham,

Well it depends how you define the term 'hacking'.  I am not a cracker, 
I am someone interested in Networking and Security.  The best way to 
learn about this is using things such as wargames.  It depends on the 
persons morales and what they do with their knowledge.  I just wanted to 
clear that up. 

Regards,

Dusty.
