# so you'd rather that
someone malicious found these bugs rather than nice b3tans?

# A good point.
But there's no need to go around shouting it - a discreet email to cal is all that's required.

# 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.
