To Lane Hackers

[Taneru]

And if the Lane Hacker ship or ships in question had been sitting on the lane for an hour waiting for you or someone else to come along, would you have continued on?

If they had been lying in wait quite obviously on the player list, would you continue exactly along your planned route into their ambush or would you use the information to change your route and avoid them?

Frankly, I find this thread a bit sickening.
From what I am interpreting, you're accusing other players of not wasting time lying in wait and of using information that is readily available.

Do you know realize how many systems we have in this mod? Do you realize how large each of those systems truly are?
Some metagaming is in fact required in order to actually play the game without making it into more than a second job...without making it into a second life itself.

Suspension of disbelief.

Sometimes, you need to stop asking how something happened and just accept that it did, move along.
