Everybody has their own style. I wasn't suggesting Curtis should have emailed Barry privately; I was just amused that he would announce his good fortune to the group by formulating it as a question specifically to Barry. Nothing wrong with him gloating about it either, for that matter, although he seems to have been insulted by the suggestion that this is what he was doing.
