BIOC. "BIOC Agent 003 was arrested today for stamping his name on his RA's
forehead."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm against pretty much all forms of fraud now that I've spent the
night in jail, the summer of '87 in pain and waiting, and will spend the next 3
years of my life on probation. I'm not informing to anyone about anything if
you have thoughts about that statement, but I have no part in anything
fraudulent. I've always thought that carding was the most stupid crime
connected with computers and that it's too risky to be worth it in the end. I
hope that the future phreaks and hackers keep around and retain what's been
built up over the many years since long before I'd heard of phreaking or
hacking.

I hope you enjoyed this file. Although I had at one time intended on this
being my last Pro-Phile, it's actually the first of many to come...And now
for the regularly taken poll from all interviewees.
Of the general population of phreaks you have met, would you consider most
phreaks, if any, to be computer geeks? Generally, the cool ones aren't, but
of course, in every large group of people, you'll probably find a few geeks
here and there. Thanks for your time, Randy. No problem, Randy.
