honestly you're being way too skeptical about this whole issue.
i mean i dont even understand what there is to worry about, i clearly stated all points in favor of dev talk in my previous post. also security through obscurity is something i don't favor.
anyway it's obvious by far that anyone who wants to exploit an exploit can do so.it's literally the job of an exploit. it's right there, literally a click away. so, again, ive no clue as to what you're referring to. i clearly stated there is no reason to worry about amazon reading these messages since you guys brought it up (at least that was my impression) and you're all like "thats suspicious" but have provided no counter argumentation to the sharing of dev talk. so....?
anyway im a dude that likes to hack and learn from hacks. thats it.
of course i can waste countless hours on this exploit and read up every single word in more than 200 posts of mainly user-centric information, but since im new to kindle and i really to play with exploits i figured i'd just ask for some pointers since that's what people do...honestly i don't see the problem but i guess that's up to the main developer at this point. i didnt figure i was going to find a dev-hostile ecosystem...
EDIT: also 'the A word' just speaks "skepticism". im not sure why theres this whole hostility to amazon, i mean they surely don't love helping out 3rd party developers but still they can't be expected to leave vulnerabilities in their systems. but saying "A word" just makes the whole problem worse!

First off I owe you an apology. I thought you were a girl.
I wasn't being hostile towards Amazon. More amused than anything that you felt the need to tell us exactly what they probably were not doing.
In my experiences, if someone repeats over and over what they are not doing, then they are usually doing exactly what they say they aren't doing and want you to look the other way.
Of course once I reread your post, I realized you couldn't possibly know what they are really doing and were just guessing.
It is no secret the big companies read the forums but they are quiet about it so as not to get harassed by customers wanting special privileges.
I said the A word because I didn't want to get caught in their boolean search. I think I spelled that word right. It would have been a waste of someone's time.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
It isn't just the A store I don't mention. I also try not to mention W or other assorted places unless I want them to know what I said.
