On something of a side note, did anyone else find that thread weird?  I 
can understand wanting to point out design or code flaws, and having a 
public discussion on differing opinions, but it seems perversely nasty 
to take free code, and, because it gave you a problem that the author 
almost certainly did not intend, publicly identify the code author and 
essentially rip him a new asshole.

There are any number of ways to address such issues with a bit of tact, 
while still having a public discussion that doesn't point to a 
particular offender.
