Comment (by winternetstudio):

 You can think whatever you want - but your assumptions are incorrect. I
 know that I'm not trying to make an excuse for my mistake, of course I
 should have been more careful. My emotionality is because I'm really
 surprised about your arguments which I don't think hold water at all.

 If you can't understand how I could do this by mistake you obviously
 haven't read my report (in moving the site I used a MySQL client if you
 think that is relevant). Of course it's not a "huge" security issue but I
 understand that you rather want to keep an unneeded feature than help
 alleviating potential security problems. Got it. Ciao.
