I think what you did here was fine, given that it was already out in the open on the forums. We don't have a lot of secret stuff going on in the development circle, so it is always a bit hard to figure out the proper venue to raise these type of concerns. We could easily set up something like [email protected] to send along to the appropriate parties, but that only fixes this particular situation and not anything else that falls into the behind closed doors category. -Dan
