Your tone is not appropriate for discussion. If you don't like the |
| 21 |
existing policy, bring it to the list with a better |
| 22 |
attitude so we can try and discuss it. But given that you want to pick |
| 23 |
a fight with your email, I will most likely ignore this |
| 24 |
thread and keep doing our job like we do for many years. |
