Heya Jack, cam, et. all! How y'all doing this evening? Good to hear it! Cambert: ditto! Jack: No offense, bud, but I think you've made a huge error. Unbeknownst to most people, the proper term is kiddies, not kitties. The term was originally coined by the hackers who felt their skill was being played off and dismissed because a group of little fuggin nitwits learned how to use l33t sp33k and share files. Don't know why people changed it from kiddies to kitties, but a few people will gladly correct the term if they hear it used. Note: hackers generally hate kiddies, and gave up l33t sp33k because it became widely used by the warez community. cub-Note: I am not a hacker, just have a friend who used to be very involved with the whole phreaks/hackers scene, and corrected me when I made the same mistake you just did. ;) Please donut be offended, Jack. You know I respect you a great deal, but, in this case, you're wrong. ( not about anything else, mind you, just the term. :P ) Peace, love, and all the rest of that horseshit, Paul P.S.: Welcome back Marcabros! It's good to know that your psychotic break will be giving us enduring laughter at your expense well into the future! ( What kind of a guy makes clones to return to a site he was laughed off of to get laughed at some more? Must be a masochist... )
