I think the problem we're having here is that you're saying "Hi! We're a
programming society dedicated to learning and dissemination of programming
knowledge. By the way, we just fixed something to make our web server more
secure, but we're not going to tell you why or how because then you might
learn something. Have a nice day."

I think it's more that people don't like the ex cathedra decisions which
some members of the executive apparently get extended over.

Don't you think that anyone who would go do it from here could have done
the same from the hints before? Wasn't ProgSoc started so people could
share Unix hacking tips? No, I don't mean cracking, but I still don't
think there was anything in the constitution about "the executive shall go
on regular power trips under the banner of net altruism".

You're not running a corporate network here. Know what I mean?
