In particular, note that your message 27 and 36 are practically
identical in content (with slight reformatting).

Interesting that you take them as identical in content
when the 2nd was specifically reworded to remove verbiage that
some found offensive.
I would point out to people that while some people
take offense to the verbiage used in the first one, the difference
in wording doesn't even show up as a blip on others' reading
of the two notes...
FWIW, Eric, the 2nd was rewritten by request. I find it
unsurprising that you didn't notice the delta's. (that's
an observation, not a veiled insult).
