Kenny, Kenny, Kenny, you just don't understand do you. Open Source software is of course badly designed and shot full of holes. So any flaws that are found just add to the final opinion that we should do what we have long been advised to do and drop it all for the smelly fish it truly is. Microsoft software, on the other hand is perfect. Anyone who says thay have discovered a flaw in these stacks of golden code is simply trying to mar the reputation of this paragon of virtue. On the off chance that the perfect design is not appreciated by an ignorant element of the consuming public, the fact that M$ choose to coddle them with a patch, should make us all truly grateful and impressed.
