Agreed. But she values the respect and standing that I have had in this community. Being able to admit where I stand in public is a huge sign of trust in her keeping her word. Like I said, she's smarter than me; it's taken me 11 years to try to play the game we started 12 years ago. But each of us deserves to be shown respect, something I didn't learn until this day. Saying this in public is an important development for me. Heck, the it's complicated button is on the level of being a blockbuster true love drama (think Hackers, but as a real life true story).
Sorry for the distration. People who know me will know that when I say Erika-with-a-k deserves the respect of this community for her own merit as a talented hacker know that I rarely pay such compliments. Many people here have my respect. I want to be shown that same respect myself and to/by the person I love.
For what it's worth, liveware can be hacked. I'm in awe of someone who showed me her elite hacker skills in a way that is life changing. She hacked my brain and it took me 11 years to defuse her virus. Elite. =-)
