No, the naive thing is keeping this kind of crap in private messages instead of in public where we the community are owed an explanation.

I wonder how responsive the mods will be when I publish just how hackable the YC infrastructure is next week.

To heck with responsible disclosure since HN mods apparently don't believe in such a thing.

It's fair game, boys. This is how the mods want to treat us, the users can respond in kind.
