felt *nothing* in reaction to *what* you wrote; I was
just being polite enough to respond to a long reply
with as much of one as I could manage given my tight
work schedule. If you read anything else into it, you
were reading something into it.

Same with this one. It's nearly 11:00 PM my time, and
I'm just taking a short break from work. This is as
far as I have either time or inclination to read into
your post, and thus reply to. So if I stop here, it
has nothing to do with you, only with the realities
of software development. Get it?

Yeah, dude, what tone?

I was thinking the same thing, which seems to happen pretty regularly whenever Barry is crossed on no-matter how trivial a subject. The person doing the crossing then becomes some faceless dude or dudette whose name Barry suddenly can't remember.
