I appreciate the warning. I'm pretty pissed, though: Storing passwords in the clear gives new meaning to "irresponsible".
You emphasize that you respect our privacy. Well, respecting privacy goes beyond keeping personal information out of the hands of third parties. It also means spending effort on planning for contingencies; database theft is among the most obvious contingencies, and password hashing is among the most obvious countermeasures.
You fucked up. Blaming it on bad luck just makes you look worse.
There's nothing here!
