I wrote this article and, quite honestly, have no idea how it ended up here. I certainly can't vouche for its place in this particular forum but wanted to say thank you to anyone who read it and commented, whether that be positive or negative. If anyone has suggestions for topics that somehow cut across the hacker/psychology interface, please let me know and I will write about those.
