Then he'd probably be regarded as a kiddie too... unless he has
reported the bug before. Keeping bugs secret and waiting until many
people use a product, then releasing the advisory is in two senses
contraproductive:

a) if you had disclosed the information to the author (here: Google)
before, the bug would most probably have been fixed
b) more people are affected by waiting

Posting it here while gmail is in beta stadium is not SO bad - but one
should also report it to gmail themselves.
