I'm telling you this because it's considered rude to do that.  If someone
sends you something in private, they may find it offensive when you publicize
their words without their permission.  Sort of how I might say "it's rude

clear that you have some kind of chip on your shoulder, and are not worth
working with.  Thanks for answering regarding your plans for sugar in
Lenny, though.
