Hacked systems and the law

[Mick Ohrberg]

To MAKE SURE that noone can use my junkmail and sign up for stuff without my knowing about it, I 
take out the response envelope, rip the rest in half, stuff it in the envelope and then throw it in 
the mail. Hey, if they can send me crap I don't want, I should be able to do the same to them.

Anybody know if those guys collected 1 million AOL cd's yet? I know they were going to dump 1 
million cd's on the front yard of the AOL main office...

| letter to send out, but maybe if enough people do
| it...
