When you replied to my response, you said you were representing others views. Which, like i said, i actually have no doubt is true, but i'm just pointing out that not a single person was directly quoted or cited in the email we are talking about here.</div><div>I'm going to gently suggest that if that had happened, you would have gotten a different response. </div><div>You can argue "that was the one time i didn't do it", etc, but even if that's true, that may be why you got the response you did :)<br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div>--Dan<br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
