Flutterby™! :

I recently had an exchange with the author of it over his linking to the story about the alleged cracker takeover of a British military satellite. Since it dropped from sight almost immediately and had all the other hallmarks of a hoax I opined that it was probably a false report in an attempt to raise general hysteria and help push a funding issue. I pointed to John Harme's recent money-oriented scare-mongering as an example. In the latest issue he uses these and similar quotes in predicting that there'll be a group similar to Tom Clancy's fictional "Net Force" formed soon. I think he's right, and it saddens me to think that people are truly that stupid and gullible.
