Well I missed it apparently.

I'm extremely shocked, and rather angry. This is my 'low security risk'
password, but I do share my low-security password among a few sites (I
presume this is common practise), and I'm quite unimpressed to find such a
blatant disregard for my personal security and privacy from - of all things
- a forum full of smart, talented, and experienced programmers!
Now I have to change my password everywhere, and remember to remember a
special one just for this one forum! >_<  ... at least I know it'll remind
me what it is if I forget!
