Okay, as the Big Ping Pong in the Sky for BRLUG, I want to make a statement 
about the responses I've been seeing as people reply to posts.

If people disagree with you in this forum, or any forum, don't assume 
anyone is upset or there is any "rancor." The people are just responding, 
and they probably aren't upset. For example, in this thread, there were 
some replies about what is and is not a script kiddie, and the general 
feeling for how to best learn about security. I didn't see any personal 
attacks, upset people, or problems in general.

Any newbies to this list need to especially take note. If someone disagrees 
with you don't take it hard. People just disagree. It's nothing personal. 
Just imagine that you are sitting down with these people, having some 
coffee, and taking part in a discussion. Would you get upset if they 
disagreed with you? Hopefully not. Why not? Because it's all part of having 
an exchange of ideas. It's the same here.

That is all.

Regards, Dustin

PS I am CC'ing SBLUG because something similar keeps occuring over there as 
well.
