It's one of the problems of email. It's sometimes hard to tell the
other party's mood.

I suppose the problem is that I was submitting what seemed to be bug
reports, when they weren't. When I write:
I try to do X and it doesn't work
The correct response isn't necessarily:
You shouldn't do X. That doesn't work. The right thing is to do is
Y, Z, W
But rather:
Why did you think X was the right thing to do? Is Frank
blatently misreading the documentation (always a possibility), or is
the documentation misleading or unclear. Should we allow X?

Great! I don't remember reading that this was added. Thanks.

Congratulation!
