Allow me to apologize for my oversight. I admit I was oblivious to your efforts
to provide a solution to the problem. I would like to hope that it has not been
in vain.

In light of what you said earlier, I wholeheartedly agree. I am, and will
continue to oppose any attempts to duplicate work.

Could you please provide details on how one can view your work? I for one
believe that this would be exceedingly helpful as this project moves forward.
Who knows? In light of the conversations that have been going on for the past

I am truly sorry if my ignorant (perhaps inflammatory?) comments added to your
frustration. I do not intend to come across as a blithering idiot. I just want
to ensure that the group is not spinning its wheels, not to mention trying to
re-invent them...
