530 DEAR HACKER
530 DEAR HACKER
Dear 2600: Would this be the correct address to write to if I had a question about
hacking? CalebLeo1
Depends. If that was the question, then yes. For all others, no. We hope that helps you.
Dear 2600: The truth. What is there to know? Sometimes true, always lying.
It splatters, affecting, or rather, infecting everything and everyone. Locusts of the real world, sound to the deaf, pictures to the blind. More than knowledge of the unknown, lies of the unsaid. Lies are what ex- ist, they exist to create; to create, to destroy, to maim. Governmental ploys to shield us from the truth. The truth that the only real thing out there, the only real and true thing, is ourselves. Ourselves and our freedom to express. Express our undying — never ending — hate for the brotherhood known only as the “government.” A shell, a meaning- less organization used to suck every penny and minute of labor out of us, whilst using that liposuction, fat-filled, bilious money to fund its own people and dummy corporations — all for one. Feeding off the sweat of others. This is only the beginning — this is where you come in. The truth is nothing... without you to hear it.

OK, we have no idea what any of that was about. It came to us in a registered let- ter from India from someone who was obviously looking at the Fifth HOPE website. True to his word, he sent us his “bio-data” which was his family history and date of birth along with every email address and handle he’s ever used. We ought to drop the whole hacker angle and just set up a religion. We already own hope.net so we’re halfway there. And if we can get testimonials like this without even trying, imagine what we could do if we really put our hearts into it.
Dear 2600: In response to Black_Angel’s question in 22:3, maybe the question
isn’t who the man on the cover is but what does he represent? Maybe what is important is the symbolism of a single man who is trying to look inconspicuous and is traveling the world with a briefcase with
