Jason, I understand you are frustrated. First, let's make clear that we have people who develop from multiple countries with multiple languages, and sometimes we need to do what we can to communicate with each other...and it's not always as smooth as we hope. Even for us who all have the same native language, we misunderstand each other all the time...especially as of late.
Email can be a frustrating conduit for communication, so I think its extra important that we talk to one and another with a bit more concern for how things come off. Clearly I am a huge violator in this department ;-) If things start to frustrate you...chat about them or walk away from the terminal after typing up a nasty message...hitting delete before send. You would be surprised how different what pours out of your fingers changes after the heat has subsided. But please, try not to get sarcastic...it is something that gets grating after a while. It's a lot easier to be direct in what you are asking as you will get a lot better response.
