| responsible have been notified privately, but do nothing. Unfortunately,
| it's also done when an individual is more interested in ridiculing than he
| is about actually helping.

| quickly. But please keep in mind that the people who maintain the server
| do so on a volunteer basis, and if the first notification of a problem
| that the volunteer sees is a public one, it can make him question why he's
| even volunteering in the first place.
