Thanks for finding a new XSS issue that was not found until now, despite many people already searched for bugs (and found some).

Provided information about a security vulnerability I wasn't aware of. Turned out not to be a major issue in itself, but reviewing the issue revealed something else that needed some attention. Friendly and quick replies to emails, lots of helpful advice.
