Uhhh No.
I am sure everyone appreciates any constructive comments pointing out bugs or flaws. Especially from someone like Alex that knows his stuff.
But if you come across as cocky and demeaning while doing this, your bound to get some disrespect, whether your name is on cover of Windows Internals or not.
Alex's email came across to me this way.

Something such as
"This code suffers from a security bug which I talked about at Blackhat 2 or 3 years ago (Fixed since Vista).
Also the code ignores the exported PsSetProcessWindowStation API and relevant EPROCESS field."
would have been totally professional and totally appropriate.

Unbelievable! We should be happy that Alex even commented on this commit to point out a flaw. Spend some time looking in to what he said, and less time disrespecting a man with his name on the cover of Windows Internals.
