I agree partially. As gruez said, the term "hacker" being used in that sense will irk true hackers.

I do see the humor though - even though the situation is not similar, it made me think of the website http://ismycreditcardstolen.com/ - we used to share it around as a joke :-)

Yeah, I suppose the title of hacker is really something that is required to be given by others in that group, similar to how a callsign is recieved.

I guess I'm not a hacker.

The "http" is the punchline.
