For the uninitiated, keeping a service as complex as Blogger secure is a constant struggle. It is incomparable to software such as MT. While I'm sure they do a fine job, I guarantee we spend more time and money specifically on security than [name-your-favorite-weblog-software-company]. Because we have to: We're constantly being attacked (most, obviously, fail). This is the nature of a high-traffic, high-visibility web site.

And it is the nature of small, underfunded business that sometimes mistakes happen. We fucked up. We got beat. We admit that. But the arrogance of all these people who have very little clue what they're talking about is pathetic. But then, that's the nature of Internet discussions. ;)
