8 You know, I really don't see the need for having stereo types labeled in
9 an email such as this. I would have done something more along the lines
10 of "hey, there's this app called X and it may seem inapprioate to other
11 people. Here is the link for it, if you have issues me adding it, please
12 let me know." But no, you had to use some uneeded stereo typical phrases
13 to catch people's attention. What did this gain you? You had to have
14 known it would stir up people. Tell me the logic of doing it this way, I
15 fail to see what it gains other than people upset with you.
