Yep! I've already written Brad an email about this. I was told he's in
Europe right now, so a reply might be delayed.

I would consider this discussion a little different than a letter - so, if I
were the one drafting it I would make every attempt not to have this tone in
it, like you say. But - lets wait and see if this letter is really that
necessary afterall, it looks like things have changed since I first
suggested it. I'm probably not that wordsmith either, and also probably
have less experience than you would in recognizing it.
BTW - see my post in reply to Kyle, where I explain myself further and offer
him an apology. Some of the tones of my post(s) to him were out of line, I
feel.
