Why did Ruediger obscure the message that was printed? It could have
been in plaintext and the maintainer still wouldn't have noticed it.

Ruediger doesn't seem apologetic for his actions.

IMHO it's a small step for him to do something malicious from here.
Firstly it might be something small like deleting your mICQ
