I saw a few hackers (in sniffers, computers and personally), but I never saw
anyone doing some hack without the reasons.
Usually, if you do not see a reason, it is _your_ misunderstanding.
Of course, reason can be as simple as _I have MS_ or as complicated as _here
is my girlfriend, and if this system went down, she will be released
earlier_ -:) /most common reason was, yep, _getting IRC control_).
This allows to subtract (1) from severity , for this particular case.

You (being a hacker) need a _reason_ to break into something? Where does
this come from?
