    My, but that was underwhelming.

    Speaking of confidence, your advertisers may need to up their game:

    "Plan Your .NET 9 Migration with Confidence Your journey to .NET 9 is more than just one decision"

    That needs to be incremented.

    Is it Subby, or is it anonymous?

    Ah, email. That stuff was a bad idea from the start. As I well told people back in the day. If you need something deliver use a fax machine like a normal person.

    MSDN? That's a name I haven't heard in a long time. The guardians of documentation before the dark time, before the AIpocalypse.

    I think it might be the short-form version of Submitter, used to make the prose flow a bit cleaner.

    Plot twist: the website writer heard of SQL injection and was asked to fix it. They decided to drop the database and simply send the form to an email as is, directly to the original client contact; that person left the company a while ago and since then the submit emails have been bouncing, producing errors on a server log that nobody is looking at.

    The events depicted may or may not be based on a real story.

    It's definitely based on several real stories that I may or may not had witnessed myself.

    Multiple layers of security. You escape the quotes and you reject submissions with quotes.What more could you ask?

    f you need something deliver use a fax machine like a normal person.

    Good luck with that. The fax machine used to be locked in a cupboard and ran out of paper years ago. Following a visit by a Highly Paid Consultant, faxes are now generated as TIFF images and go to the same unchecked email inbox as the form submissions.

    "Subby sent a separate email alerting them of the bug he'd found." - and was immediately arrested and fined and jailed for criminal hacking. The End.
