OK, I curious.  What exactly is the big deal with calling a particular
network a cracker haven?...  Especially if you can prove that that it seems
to be.  I know that if someone said suck things about my ISP. I would
initially say "HEY", then I would clean up my act, and make sure that my
network isn't being used to attack other networks.
