Not true.

Just because the module does not self modify, does not mean that it properly
serializes access to other storage.

That is proper, because reentrancy does not limit to at the same time.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
