it's a shameful thing that such a respectable title is given to script kiddies, but not to the real hackers who have contributed many years of creating priceless software gems to our community. coule anyone confuse rms for some 11-year-old kid who goes by a handle that's conspicuously nothing like himself and runs scripts he doesn't understand? it boggles the mind.
