The black hats are all around, they are next to you in the member list, everywhere in fact.. They might even be the guy replying to your message. Does a black hat not have to know as much as a white hat and then more...? I figure at some point all black hats were white hats and most black hats probably also own white hats.. So, I think its more a question of 'open the wardrobe and pick a hat' for many
Black hats are not so bad... Some of my heroes growing up wore black hats: Paladin Maverick Hopalong Cassidy and quite a few more... I'm not taking up for all the "black hats" but, there is more to honor and respect than just the color of the hat.

Ha, if you sign up im sure there is a thread now that says "the white hats are watching us watch them!"
b'ah ... the term white hat seo is such a contradiction. true white hat means you don't do jack other then make your site crawlable. get real people. if you joined coop to increase your serps then guess what ... you're more of a black hat than a white hat.
blacks hats are some of the most techincally profficient web developers there are! it's a little deeper than making a page spider friendly ... just a little.
