Thank you for saying this. It's distressing how many people are rushing to his defense, by saying, basically, "well he's successful and rich, what do you know?"
I know that I'd be pretty pissed if my passwords where being stored in plain text and got leaked all over the internet - and most of the people using this non-excuse would be to.
There are plenty of ways to provide the same service of mailing out passwords that PoF has without leaving plain text passwords laying all over the place. Since the founder is supposed to be such a screaming genius when it comes to programming and running servers, I'm surprised he didn't know any of them....
