It seems some of my beta-version predecessors have been causing difficulty for the geek community.
In my personal experience, the online community of geeks can regulate themselves against such blatant scheming by the corporatists in the old media.
The 2.01 release was hacked by a group of pop-culture loving geeks, and several copies are now simultaneously attempting to mount a DoS attack on the slashdot community by posting multiple messages each day under the name "jonkatz". These obnoxious trolls are tying slashdot users in knots, diverting their energy away from the holy grail of open-souce DeCSS and toward raging flames directed against other versions of myself.
Already, I have received ten e-mails saying that this abuse is rampant and destructive, breeding massive amounts of online hostility. For this, my script is very sorry.
