The reasons I posted, and I do realize it may be ... inappropriate, are:

1. My chatterbox client is down for some reason (which is why I'm posting this, too). I can't tell when someone will respond if they're not around.
2. Somehow I feel, being new here, that /msg'ing someone is a bit like walking up to someone I've never met and whose work I admire on the street and telling them their shirt is of a lousy color.
3. It's easier for me to format the comment so that I feel it's as non-offensive as I can, since that wasn't the goal.
4. I know he can change it, and I couldn't. He can probably reap my comment, can't he?

English is not my native either, it just somehow caught my eye (still does),
Sorry if it was inept.
