kit,
I'm very glad to see you took up the game again. Yes, hackers suck, they're losers in life, but you'll survive and be stronger. Sorry I didn't get to game with you on LA, as I took my only decent char from there to Atlantic, but I'm sure you'll recover nicely with some help from your friends. That's the great thing about UO, for every azzmunch out there there are 10 wonderful people who enjoy friendships and helping each other out. Good luck with the rebirth!
