Gee, it would be nice if this little essay had a date. Yeah, a bit off topic, but it always bothers me when there is some article, blog entry, or whatever and there is no date so I can put the author's words in a temporal context.

Guess you didn't read to the end:

"Note: This is an appendix to 'Computer Hacking and Ethics,' a position paper I wrote for the ACM Select Panel on Hacking in 1985."

Yes it is an appendix. We know the date of the original work. but it does not give a date for the appendix.
