Looks to me like Heather didn't quite read Craig's article.  He did
state that these were excerpts from the letter.  For all we know
the part left out may have been very "offensive".  

Craig, I would like to thank you for answering some rather nebulous
questions that I (as well as the "offensive letter writer") had.
I, for one, appreciated your article.
