"The Electronic Disturbance Theater (EDT) is a small group of ..." PEOPLE WHO WRITE IN GIANT FRICKING WALLS OF TEXT.

Seriously, I took one look at the EDT site, got as far as that quote, and thought that no normal/sane human being would want to read that mess ... so I didn't either.

I guess it explains the lack of other comments. EDT people, if you have something to tell the world, maybe consider writing it for an audience of someone besides yourself (and even then ... do you people seriously like writing like this ... really?)

Note that this is a document from 28 years ago, not a current movement.

Basically, these were people who were experimenting with DDoS for political change.
