I was going to say something along these same lines ... but to me
this message, as well, comes off a bit harsh.

I understand Paul's point even if I found the initial tone abrasive.
But I know a lot of context is lost when conversations are down-converted
to keystrokes.

Perhaps Paul can understand why, for a native southerner, seeing that
kind of Subject: line can be demotivating, especially in the light of
how hard it has been in the past to make such large changes to the
infrastructure.

Please remember folks: one person's "blowing off steam" can lead to
another person's "why do I bother trying to fix things anyways."
