Thanks Suresh, Suraj.
3 = E, 1 = lowercase l, 7 = T. Misspelled words, with random case,
letter number substitutions etc are characteristic of IRC skript kiddies
Ah, I got it. Not so much a slow-bulb, but too much lateral interpretation
(ghost of Jacques Derrida at work here?).
LOL :-)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/31337 has some background on 31337 speak. ;
However, it's also interesting to explore some other angles to this. 31337
has traditionally been a unix backdoor port; it's really open to debate if
31337 speak pays indirect homage to these original crackers.
More recently back-orifice has used port 31337 as a pretty clear homage to
31337 speak; with the result that most firewalls nowadays bounce any traffic
that happens to be on port 31337!
