15 If my understanding is correct, then yes. A "last rites" e-mail means
16 that somebody is taking responsibility for removing a package unless
17 there are notable (and credible) objections. Your e-mail was different,
18 as it merely suggested that "someone" should remove the package, but
19 offered no assurance that somebody actually would do so. Unless you were
20 suggesting that you were going to remove the package yourself?

22 Does that make sense?
