I wonder why Markus made a blog post out of this? If he just wanted to make the point that POF deletes inactive profiles, why use Assange's as an example considering that it is an example clouded with political controversy?

I don't like what I read but it's still better than 99% of the other nonsense profiles. Most people describe themselves as if they are a different species altogether. The traits he describes are at least patently human.

Forget hacking Gawker Media, POF stores your plaintext password as it sends out regular emails with your password included. Something like "In case you forgot, your password is 'fred1234'".

Well, aren't you the cheeky one.
