Gosh. You sure told me.

Pfft.

Anyways..
#1: its not a hacker "club". its free meetings in which people can sit down 
with us and talk about technical issues, social issues on the net and how they 
affect us, and generally allow us to bullshit around as most of us don't meet 
up with one another in person that often.

#2: As for what i wanted, was perhaps a little research into the issue. This 
isn't exactly a subject that can be covered in a few hours. What he did was 
take a cross section of our culture for a few hours without researching who we 
were. I walked away from that interveiw with a bad taste in my mouth, and from 
what I hear, the article was somewhat less than spectacular, nor was it very 
well researched. 

So before you begin pointing and shaking your finger, perhaps YOU should do 
some research into what the fuck your talking about before you go spewing 
accusations. I went to that meeting to talk to freinds, and because someone at 
the meeting was a media whore and told him to come to the meeting, i did an 
interveiw with him with the hope that he actually knew what the hell he was 
writing about. I was wrong, and I won't be making the same mistake twice. 
Robert Blake (a psudeonym) did a thesis on us, which was accurate, well 
thought out and RESEARCHED. He spent more than a few hours with us (actually, 
a couple days) and learned what we were about. We don't want people to worship 
us as that would imply we have some sort of ideals of responsibility, which we 
don't, nor have we said we did. We do what we do because it's challenging, 
fun, a great way to learn about technology that we normally wouldn't have 
access to and it opens alot of oppourtunitys skills-wise. Not because some 
dork at a halfrate 'zine wants a hot scoop and we want our pictures in the 
papers.

Nuff said.
