dang / mods: if anyone passing deserves the HN black banner, I think Mitnick deserves the banner.

I am going to swim against the current and ask that you please not do this. His crimes weren't victimless and his actions hurt real people. While I think pancreatic cancer is a terrible thing to die from, and while I feel for his loved ones, HN's black banner is a mark of honor, and that is not something I think he earned.

The company running this website was cofounded by the man who wrote the first internet worm, there's a chapter about rtm and pg in some of the same books that talk about Mitnick.

Nobody's perfect.
