[Noisebridge-discuss] Noisebridge chem class?

[trentspace at tormail.org]

What is wrong about me wanting to teach a chemistry lab at Noisebridge?
Just because I engage in so-called "nefarious" activities at home means
that I am not allowed to provide assistance to fellow hackers?

Man I certainly hope that all of those people who break into computers
don't go and teach you guys how to program code.
