Tim,

to be completely honest, communicating anonymously doesn't really match my 
"this is highly professional" standards either, so I don't think we should 
be losing too much sleep over this particular e-mail exchange.

CoC explicitly requires us to be reasonably nice to the human being on the 
other end of the wire, which I whole-heartedly believe is a very noble and 
nice goal. But you really have to know at least a little bit who's there 
on the other end. Otherwise failure to communicate might be sort of 
inevitable.
