Seriously, don't react to the style, react to the substance.

I know it's not always easy but we're none of us great at communication,
we're none of us actually paid to think that carefully about what we write,
so it's all too easy to get wound up in a http://xkcd.com/386/ kind of way.
At which point Steve does something between amused and sarcastic, Frederik
does deadpan, I do flying off the handle, Etienne does inscrutable, someone
on talk-de will do BAN POTLATCH!!1!1?lol, etc. etc. <---- lots of hints for
Fake blogs there

But none of that matters, really. If we're to get things done then
occasionally biting your lip is helpful. The number of mails I write to this
list and then close before sending...

cheers
Richard
