I don't really mind dang making those sorts of editorial decisions, since it's more or less his job. At least dang seems open to a greater breadth and depth of subject matter than many people's narrow minded view of what should be relevant here.

That said, "good hacker" as a qualifier is as frustratingly elitist as it is maddeningly vague.

My interpretation is that "good" is meant to delineate from "bad". E.g. this isn't a forum for sploits, warez and script kiddies. Reading how others interpret this is curious to me, as I joined with zero knowledge of this pg guy and personally tend to weigh his various opinions on merit.
