deceptive mail

[Bill Dietrich]

I disagree totally with the sentiment of "that's a big
bug; don't tell anybody except administrators about it".

Telling everybody about it is the only way to guarantee
that people will take notice and fix it.  That is, they
are embarassed and/or alarmed into actually doing
something about it.

Otherwise, the bug will sit there for years until
release X comes out, and even then they will probably
forget to fix it.  In the meantime, everyone sits
around with a false sense of security and those who
discover the bug on their own are free to wreak havoc.
