Let's leave the technical part out, since this is not a technical  
issue as it seems. Tomasz did not deny anything, he just said that  
this are minor issues. I fully understand that your ego gets pushed  
by seeing your nick in a post on FD and you simply can't cope with  
opinions that differ that much from yours. Somehow i suspect this is  
something personal, not technical.

Oh wait - if you talk about security groups i hope you don't think  
this includes you?! Security groups are usually not interested in  
"pwning the shit out of something" - that's what kids do. The  
security groups we worked together till now usually have a clue about  
responsible disclosure and things like that. If you really would give  
a sh*t about security and/or if you would believe that the  
"vulnerabilities" you found are that severe, you would follow the  
common guidelines of disclosure. But hey, it's not about security, is  
it?

Thanks for reporting the bugs.
