NO WAI

Got an email from a (L)user informing us of a bug in our firewall... here's the conversation that followed with my coworkers:

Me: So, this guy found a bug in our firewall! OMG - can you believe it?

Co-worker: No way. It's only been out for years and he found a bug? Does he have the full, paid for version?

Me: No, I did a search in our database for Captain Obvious and it came up null.

I'm fond of the phrase "surely not."

Security flaws? In Windows? Surely not.

YA WAI!

I try to report security holes anonymously, so even if I was a paid user you wouldn't find me in the database.

Too many companies today seem to want to press charges against people reporting bugs. No good deed goes unpunished, eh?
