I just have a few things to say which contradict and agree with your post (you know which one I mean :P). So for the most part you are right. A lot of hackers abuse what they are given. But have you forgotten the base of users here are what 9-13 year olds all psyched up about Pokemon. They stumble on to here and are welcomed with tools in which they can use and abuse. Yes half of them hot tempered arrogant fools. But what are we to say... The true rom hackers in which you speak of are those who work under the scene such as you as you are a very old and respected member here. But some of the points you posted were a bit demeaning to the thread's owner if not directly meant. As he was trying at least to begin working with hex and such with his program (after all he is 13). Well anyways I hope you get what I am saying and yes 3/4 of your post is spot on. Thanks ;).
