I am also originally from Wisconsin, but I don't know  Kelly Collins.  She
reminded me of a student I had, who told me there is no such things as
"Black Yeast"   (_Aureobasidium_, etc.)   It was easy for me to take
offense since at the time I considered myself an expert on the "black
yeast" genera.  That was in a face to face meeting.  Cyberspace is even
worse.  We can't read the other person's face and voice inflections. 
Sometimes words are "too" powerful in e-mails. . ."anal". . . is
definitely a powerful word and easily misread.   This is not a lesson just
for Kelly, this is a lesson for us all.
