------------------------------------------ libel / l?bel / n. & v. * n. (1) (legal) a: a published false statement damaging to a person's reputation (cf. SLANDER). b: the act of publishing this. (2) a: a false and defamatory written statement. b: (foll. by ON) a thing that brings discredit by misrepresentation, etc. ... v. tr. (libeled, libeling; esp. Brit. libelled, libelling) (1) defame by libelous statements. (2) accuse falsely and maliciously. ------------------------------------------ last time i checked, this was illegal and very-much punishable by law. now will someone please teach me *how* to hack into Hyperreal? maybe i can find a typeface with a schwa symbol and one of those funky 'i's with a bar mark and accent over it. i'm no expert, but hacking must be more involved than sending a "subscribe idm" message to "majordomo@hyperreal.com." if this is hacking, then ... damn. guess i'm a hacker.
