Hey, I use lynx to browse the web from time to time, and I would consider it an insult to be called l33t. Actually, I mainly use it to test compatibility, but I have been known to do more.
To me '1337' is something that a bunch wanabees or script-kiddies aspire to learn so they feel '|<3\/\/1'. The only people I have ever known to use it have been script-kiddies; I don't think it's really that big anywhere else, or is it?
