":As a sub-mariner, I'm sure you are quite aware what ""over and out"" means.
However, your request is very polite, and entirely reasonable, so it would seem both very impolite and very unreasonable not to reply, and hence I had intended to respond usefully.
But Mr Beestra has taken on the role of divine retribution and dramatically interferred.
I hope you won't be offended if I don't reply right now.
In very brief summary, I  had intended to say something to the effect that your knowledge in the area is thorough and reliable. However, your manner is somewhat abbrasive - in my personally admitted completely biassed opinion: ""It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it.""
Any further response would almost certainly lead to me making comments about Mr Beestra's objectivity, so I won't continue.
My closing comment would be: Please keep up the good work, but take off your hobnail boots and replace them with soft slippers.
Best wishes,
