Yeah, he probably told his employees. Quit messing things up so badly, cause
I keep losing money on having to release all these FREE security updates.
Make it so that it is at least 90% secure, then we can put out that we fixed
those security problems when we do the next release even though we will still
only have 90% security. But Quit Pushing Out only 50% secure products because
you are costing ME money.
