I am getting tired of the somewhat sniping tone of this email thread.
If I were the person to whom these responses are directed, I might
feel offended, even insulted.  There is no need for this kind of tone
between professionals.  Let's try to keep it about the content.  I
know frustration can arise when there is misunderstanding -- the effort
should go toward building common understanding, not criticizing other
individuals.  Or as my mother used to say, you get more flies with
honey than with vinegar.
