Your reaction to this suggests to me that you may have mistaken what meritocratic and egalitarian mean. People with these qualities do not usually care about things such as ones "pedigree", thus the GP's confusion that hackers look down upon people who've attended "name-brand" universities.
If not, please elaborate on your post as I do not understand how you in 30 years can not have met hackers with these qualities.

- edw519 17y agoSorry. The part of OP's post I have never seen was that "backlash" part, not the "meritocratic and egalitarian" part. I see now how that could have been misinterpreted because my manual string extraction was off by 62 characters. But thanks smacking me with 2 dictionary links. That oughta fix it.
