Totally incorrect.  I WANT people to post exploits of my code, but throughout the years, no-one ever has.  I wonder why...

So if anyone did happen to find an exploit in your code, you'd rather they make it public knowledge before notify you? If so, I'll digress now, because that attitude is nothing more than either stupidity or arrogance. No-one turns out perfect code 100% of the time, and to suggest you would rather an exploit be made public knowledge than be given the opportunity to patch/repair it before that is just a stupid stance to take.
