Heya,

Late response from me as I have been headbanging at
Wacken in Germany. :)

I agree with Vinnie here. alex seems a nice lad and I
don't consider him any major threat to security - he
has just done something stupid and no doubt regrets
doing it. I reckon most people have taken at least a
passing interest in the whole phreaking thing - I
certainly did, but I lacked the balls to have a go and
knew that I would most certainly get caught. I think
Alex's parents did the right thing and I am sure Alex
knows that any kind of promotion of breaching security
systems illigally is officially not condoned at the
LUG, although there may be the odd presentation here
and there about techniques to educate the LUG about
security riskss. ;)

The case in point here is that bragging about
commiting a crime is simply not acceptable on this
list - if anyone, and I mean anyone does it, they will
be warned and possibly removed - I don't promote crime
in any way and I don't want it on this list. If you
crack illigally, tell me at LUGs and not on this list.
:)

Welcome back Alex and come to the LUG meets to tell us
more about this. :)
