I accidentally forgot to "Reply All", so this was a re-send of the message. And when I re-sent it, I didn't notice that the e-mail client hid the quoted line from me and accidentally sent it without quoting Bert's line. I wasn't sure whether to write this follow-up but the longer I stared at it, the more sure I was that somebody would call me out on it so I decided to be pre-emptive. My apologies if it would have been better to just let it slide.
