I am extremely responsible with regards to security and in most 
cases I've had a fix ready and available within 30 minutes of 
receiving note of a vulnerability.

I take a dim view of posting exact details of vulnerabilities before 
people have a chance to patch their board and I take a dim view of 
needlessly alarming people with almost trivial matters, such as 
this.

If you find a vulnerability in a program and you post details of 
how to exploit it without notifying the vendor then that is very 
irresponsible indeed.
