   but what actually is a "cyberpunk"? is it   
   like a hacker or something? i just thought   
   cyberpunk was a genre. larry niven writes   
   some wicked cyberpunk short stroies and   
   i love Manga, as far as i know, Akira and   
   Battle Angel Alita are both cyberpunk and   
   they are my favorite films of all time.   
   I wasnt joking about 2012 though, i could   
   talk about that if you guys want, although   
   it doesnt really fit in with the crap i was   
   talking about in my first post.   
      
   how did you find out i was using bt openworld   
   and how did you know ive been posting   
   on games newsgroups?   
      
   peace
