# what's the point of finding bugs in software?
what an odd question

# you can squash the bugs, put them in biscuits
and sell them for millions.

# so you'd rather that
someone malicious found these bugs rather than nice b3tans?
(I helped save b3ta! munkt0n, Wed 11 Jun 2003, 15:24, archived)
# A good point.
But there's no need to go around shouting it - a discreet email to cal is all that's required.

quite open about it all. still shouldn't have collected the passwords that time, but live and learn...

# Oh that's bad.
Ah well, I do use the same password for everything, but luckily nothing of mine is worth stealing, etc.

# I worry
that it makes lots of work for cal, who codes this board in his spare time.

And I worry that it's impinging on his good nature, because no-one's ever managed to "hack" b3ta anyway. I doubt many have tried.

# it's not that much work for him
personally, I'd rather have people reporting bugs to me, than keeping them secret and trying to hack the place.

# I must admit it makes me feel nervous that
someone can muck about with my posts and profile even if he seems to be benevolent
