I'm not trying to be unfair or critical or anything. My first question was genuine. I intended my note about acronyms to be just that: a side note. The response I got was "If you read the template [...]", which it should have been pretty obvious I did. Then I got an explanation of the template as if I hadn't read it, which was a bit patronizing.

I think it's a good idea (and said so twice!). I was curious what the reception was like.

Sorry if my comment about acronyms was too much. It is a pet peeve of mine to see acronyms not spelled out, especially technical ones in a document intended for non-technical people. I didn't intend it to derail the conversation. Obviously it was taken in a way more critical way than I had intended -- my fault.




Sorry I didn’t pick up that you had read the template. I was just trying to give context for my answer without assuming or requiring anyone who might read it to have scrolled through all the code.
