[Blindtlk] Disturbing article I found.

[T. Joseph Carter]

Alan,

But he has superpowers!  He has learned to hear DTMF numbers and he 
can memorize phone numbers.  I hear he can also walk and chew gum.

Don't mess with him or he'll crank call your mom and start talking 
like Daffy Duck.

He's a black hat 2600-wannabe who got caught and is going to jail.  
If he sharpens his skills enough to play with the big boys and 
decides to stop with the petty revenge phone crap, he's got a 
promising career in data security after they let him out of prison.
