Awhile back there were some comments back and forth regarding
pirate ftp sites.  If my senility serves me it was Jonl remarking
about Scott Chasin comments about the scourge of pirate ftp sites

I just got this from hubcap at Clemson U.  which was one of the 
great ftp sites for graphics.   I used it often to obtain Amiga
raytrace info.

You can thank the scum hackers of the world for the deletion of the
public amiga directory here.

Seems they had a hidden directory called 
/usr/spool/ftp/pub/amiga/incoming/program.tools/".ami "  that they
were using to move stolen software around the Internet. They are using
lots of other places besides hubcap, anyplace they can find with public 
write turned on, it seems. Don't be surprised if you find lots of
your favorite sites closed down.

You know, my mom used to be able to stand on the corner, at night, in DC,
with her arms full of shopping bags, waiting for the bus... oh nevermind.

Well, some time has passed. Lots of folks are calling up to say how 
appreciative they are of the resources that hubcap has contributed
to the Amiga community over the years, and all I can say is ``glad we
could help!''.

Some of the hacker weenies have sent me notes as well:

 * was, there hadn't been any problems! Get a life and then a clue, wimp! 

Well, Mr. Test, when you get a name, I'll get a life.

Just an example that I have found, I am sure there are more.  :(
