When they changed from classic to the new SI format I though they would never be able to top that screwup but they did. When they made it their policy to give personal information without contacting the member I thought they had would never be able to top that screwup but they did. When the security conflict was discovered in private messages I though they would never be able to top that screwup but they did. When they did this new update this past thursday I finally conceded that they are able to top all of their previous screwups. What can we expect them to do next to top this one? Will they post our credit card numbers? Will they sell our information to anyone that wants it? Will they publish our addresses? Stay tuned folks, I bet you'll be surprised at what their next screwup will be.
