Why doesn Archangel write like other leet hackers?
There is a certain segment of the hacking community that uses abbreviations, juxtapositions, and various misuse of alphanumerics. This was popular among the hackers for a while, and there is even some evidence that Archangel used to do this as well, although the hacker steadfastly denies it. (witness: Archangel Roolz) Eventually, this practice was seen, and rightfully so, by the hacker community as simple wannabe sloppiness, and Archangel is no exception. Old School hackers had a lot of success in 1997 stamping this practice from the newsgroups, and now is primarily only found on AOL. .
