By the way, I'd like to add that even though I interpreted your email as a needless attack, I have found your testing in this area to be extremely informative and helpful, enough to change my previously held opinions. I hope you continue your valuable contributions along those lines, and perhaps react more positively in the future when you actually succeed in persuading people. Sincerely, Maciej
