- Yes, I do (though there is missing a context here). Furthermore, I see
- no (nor it was meant to be expressed) any hate with this statement.
- But if you read it that way, perhaps your emotions are really overheated.

-
- No need to feel guilty here as well. The text of any of mailng lists
- as it appears there, is written by editor/moderator of the mailing
- list. His/her address is also listed there and you have all possible
- means to complain. If other people could follow this way (and the
- change was made without overheated emotions), you could as well.
- Especially because I pointed out this to you (publically) as well.
