It's just a matter of decorum and perception. That's all.

There is no question in my mind that going public was required. To much potential for people using OpenBSD code.

The lessons learned are:

1. Talk to the developer first BEFORE (not instead of) going public in future if this problem happens again with OpenBSD folks.

2. Ingore Theo completely.
