yo patrice --

Why do you assume this is Mr. Dominguez et al?
LOL!!!

Let me assure you, the elecrtohippies are most certainly NOT Ricardo Dominguez
and/or the Electronic Disturbance Theater.  EDT is Mr Dominguez, Mr Wray, Ms
Karasic, and Mr Stalbaum.  They/we are always completely open and honest about
their/our identity in electronic activism.   ...Altho we do love masquerades,
charades, parades, etc. etc. etc...  Did you enjoy Halloween?  I sure did!  Most
of my friends didn't even recognize me!  But i digress...

The elecrtohippies explain their choice for their name in their website.  Their
writing style & web presence isn't even close to ours...  I looked at their
website and was not certain that they are even using our code. It's really
pretty simple & they could very well have written their own.  They haven't given
details yet.  (btw -- that's not at all the EDT style)

I'm curious tho -- is your complaint that the electrohippies are calling
themselves "hippies" or is it that you already use the name "electrohippies" and
so this hacktivist group has stolen your name?

(or perhaps i should say, Ms Karasic)
