I bow down before your l33t research sk1llz!

And I'm flattered that you would take time out of your obviously busy
schedule to go over my paltry little scrap and show me the error of my
ways.

No. Seriously. I am :-/

I stand humbled, chastised and thoroughly embarrassed by your
relentless and all-seeing Full Disclosure(tm)


However, I shall sleep easier tonight for knowing that researchers
such as yourselves are scouring the Internet for buggy software, and
dragging feeble attempts at "coding" (although that word clearly gives
too much undeserved importance and diginity to cr*p such as mine),
kicking and screaming, into the bright glare of public scrutiny and
ridicule.


Now that you've brought this humilitating little farce of mine to the
attention of the entire world, I think I'll just go off and kill myself.

No. Seriously. I will.

Really...
