If i was to call a hacker a logger, a cracker a saltine, and a reporter a stoker would i be right? What if the named reporter misunderstood me and called a logger a stoker would that make the "stoker" a hacker? And then what if people reading his article all over the universe started calling hackers fish sales-men, due to another random misunderstanding in galactic language. Who would have it right? Would that mean we were all to fear fish sales-men? or hackers? or saltines?


So once again it seems the real issue comes down to a word or name and who defines it. And who we want to fear..
