Because the way he compared it to qmail, made it sound like one of the
Sendmail developers found the bug.

And I agree with you (actually, OpenBSD had a patch for it one day after the
article was written). It was just a little off-putting to have him get so
defensive about the whole sendmail vs. qmail thing.

I dont think anyone is trying to start a flame war. Kurth emailed the list
the bug found in sendmail to any die-hard qmail users. He never said 'see
how much sendmail sucks, what a piece of crap. use qmail.' I know it always
puts a smile on my face when an advisory comes out for a [Free,Net]BSD, and
to see in the advisory that the bug was fixed in OpenBSD since 199x.
