Further Developments in the Dickery of People on the Internet!

This is a followup to this post here. That all still happened. But yesterday? I got an e-mail from the guy.

Basically, he told me I could have just asked him nicely for the old version, and I didn’t need to be so angry. And attached? An old version of the program. A few minutes later, I could get into my passwords again.

I still feel my anger was completely justified. The way his program worked was still kind of dickish and still created a hostage situation, whether that was his intent or not. But the fact that he did help me, even after I wrote angry things at him, really shows he’s a pretty good guy, I suppose.
I wrote him an e-mail saying as such. That I’m not going to take back what I said, because it would be a useless gesture anyway, but that I really appreciate him helping me out anyway.

Still, I doubt I’ll be using his program any more. I got all my passwords out of the file, and that’s that, you know?

Glad to hear it worked out for you.
