Oh the irony. To your friend who thinks it's okay to try and crack other people's sites if he doesn't like them:

Did it occur to you that the "bad guys" responsible for what you didn't like at eToys might be one lawyer? Did you know that eToys was one of the largest mod_perl/Linux sites ever? Did you know that eToys paid me and the other engineers there to hack on things like mod_perl and Template Toolkit, and that our patches are on CPAN right now? Did you know that I spent a sleepless night adapting one of merlyn's Web Techniques columns to save our site from the DDoS attack that you were so proud of? Did you ever stop to think who gets hurt the most when you attack someone's site? Clue: it's not the lawyers.
