The following opinions are my own, though I believe I speak for the majority
of the net:

1) This newsgroup, as well as ALL others I know of, is NOT a forum for
   kids to discuss how they can screw over another user or a system.

2) Methods of prevention of malicious activities is very welcome, how much
   fun you had while getting revenge is not.

3) I suggest, if the annoyence you've experienced happens again, rather
   than retaliate, simply check the permissions of all of your files and
   directorys, change your password, review major dot files, and include
   the command "mesg n" at the top of your .login or .profile. Mesg n will
   prevent others from redirecting anything to your terminal, as well as
   prevent them from 'write'ing to you. Of cource, this will not stop
   root from performing the mentioned activities, but if that is a problem,
   find a new computer system to work on.
