[SOC] SOC web site hacked!

[Curt Steger]

I too noticed this and wondered what sort of witchcraft was involved. 
Apparently someone from the club that shall not be named was feeling a 
little butt-hurt about something maybe. Lord knows they would never be 
intimidated by such a humble gathering as this.

I would prefer a much more subtle disclaimer that what the SOC currently 
has. Something like,

Not associated with any other class of operators club, now get over it.

Just my $.02 worth.
