Eric wrote a good email about the limitations of email communication. I 
thought you were requesting a major change, and it would never have 
crossed my mind that you would have been happy if I had ignored your post.

Let's add some perspective: After two weeks rewriting the page based on 
readers' input, I say that I can't afford more discussion on the front 
page. To this you reply that I only listen to people who agree with me. 
Is it that surprising that I reacted strongly?

As you can imagine, what it looked like from my angle is that you were 
upset that I don't want to rewrite the website again, and are willing to 
make unwarranted accusations to get your way.

You said you would have been happy if I had simply ignored you. But you 
were upset when I said that I couldn't afford a bike shed discussion. I 
guess we are different people, but I would have thought that the latter 
is better than the former. Had I thought that you would be happy being 
ignored, and upset with my reply, I would have chosen the happy option. 
I apologize for making the wrong choice.

Daniel.
