How not to respond to a security advisory

You don't get around much. That's how Theo reacts to pretty much everything. Find a security issue in OpenBSD and he redefines the meaning of "security issue" or blows it off, and then spends a month on the mailing lists calling anyone who mentions it an idiot.
