Ah, once again, Curt is pulling one of his favorite tricks.  Since
most people probably haven't seen this, I'll review:

* Curt sends a flame privately, fairly clearly intended to enrage the
  target.  He also specifically notes that it's not to be
  redistributed, probably because he doesn't want evidence of such
  things floating around.

* Curt sends a short message which pretends to be nice to the public
  list.  (Although the weasel-wording in the last part is kind of
  humorous, in context.)

My *assumption* is that the point of this is to get the target to
flame back on the public list and make people think they're being
unreasonable.  If so: sorry, Curt, but you've pulled that trick too
many times, and it's not going to work any more.
