In article <> you write:

  I reread my letter very carefully.  Nowhere do I tell you that you
" don't understand or care about users."  If your copy of my message says
that, then your mailer is making much more serious modifications of messages
than is mine.

 My copy of the message I sent does not descend to the level of name calling
either.  Your mailer must really be messed up if your copy suggests otherwise.
