Which doesn't excuse repeat 'Silence is golden, apparently' emails from a user ;)

I'm always torn on what should be disclosed and what shouldn't. I mean, if it's a security vio (haxors!) then yeah, clearly folks should be told there was an issue and the dev was told. But if it's just rampant asshattery and spammy/bad behavior, it's not as huge a thing. FUD is such a tenuous thing.

I'm goin' back to pie for breakfast.
