Hey, that *was* my advice! Must've gotten lost in the noise, so thanks
for re-stating it concisely.

Indeed. I personally don't hold grudges, and I realize that
defensiveness is a natural reaction to negative review comments, so I'm
not going to hold any of this against Scott -- at least not in a "you
suck!" way. However, it does inspire some distrust, which means that I
review the remaining material more cautiously and less willingness to
compromise.
