I know, right?

I read through the whole exchange and kept thinking "How are they managing to be so polite, to these rank amateurs who show no respect?" I probably would have informed them of the flaw, informed them when I was publishing, informed of a suggested fix then piped all the rest to /dev/null.

I also positively love the use of "push it to the limit".

It honestly gave me flashbacks to a few email chains I've had with students in my tutorials. It's really obvious when someone is asking for clarification but it's not in good faith

"Can you explain to me what you think I did wrong in my program? I can assure you everything is correct. Otherwise you're clearly drunk and out to get me."
