Thank you for your very frank note.  

I think that *all* of us need to remember to watch our tempers, and
try hard, before hitting the send button, to make sure the words we
have written convey what we mean them to convey.

I think almost everyone on this list has at one point or another felt
short of time, irritated, etc. and that often that comes through in
our notes.  I sometimes notice this when rereading my own replies to
posted C++ patches; I sometimes say "That isn't right" instead of
"Thank you for your patch.  Unfortunately, ..."

Let's all look forward to the new year -- I'm sure that well work
together to make GCC an absolutely top-flight free compiler!
