Maybe because you're acting like a dickhead?  Let's review the
timeline, shall we?

1.  You have a question.  A somewhat silly one, but a question
    nonetheless.

2.  You post it to the developers list hoping for an answer.

3.  The author of the program your question concerns responds with an
    answer pointing out your oversight.

4.  You rudely and haughtily tell him he's wrong as if he wouldn't
    know what he's talking about.

While #2 was a minor mistake (you should've posted to the users list),
it's #4 that makes you look like a dumbass.

You didn't insult him.  You just acted as though you knew more than he
about his own program.  So he decided that you could fend for
yourself.  Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Using "NFS" and "security" in the same thought process without the
phrase "has no" in between reveals a rather disturbing lack of clue on
your part.

See ya.
