I don't assume i know everything about them, and I'm all for hearing
other points of view so i bear no ill will for your comments and im
happy to hear any insights people have on this matter :)  What I do know
however is Kayla's perspective of the situation as she told me and what
Ive gathered with public information. When i say the guy was never a
part of lulzsec i mean it in the respect that Kayla never considered him
a member, they didn't consider people in the pure elite channel to be
members and you are right that they were potential recruits but only 6
people were considered actual members of lulzsec and that's according to
Kayla, if she was telling me the truth and her information was accurate
then this person was never really a part of their group.
