True, but I try to keep the original headings. Changing them often causes confusion (editorialising) if I misplace emphasis. Besides I'm pretty sure most here know the distinction b/w "hackers" & "crackers".

You're right.

Besides I'm pretty sure most here know the distinction b/w "hackers" & "crackers".

I think that's not the problem: what annoys me is that, as it was for this article, I am expecting something very different from what I find. It took me 1/3 of the article to understand they were not talking about hackers at all. Yes, stupid me, but that's what happened :)
