I regretted sending that message the moment I sent that, realized it would come off as though it were about specific messages or people. It wasn't! I think I just allowed myself to vent something that has been eating at me a little about this list (which I love and value overall!) for a while. And it's not even a thought that's ready to articulate, much less apply to a specific message thread.
No, Phil, your message was great! Please carry on. I'll be in the corner thinking about what I've done ;)
