I owe Michael a terrible apology.  The email that I had this impression
from is indeed a misattribution:

Michael's text is the latter sentence and Vizion's text is the former,
but a careless misreading led me to assume the opposite.  Carefully
rechecking the thread (and private emails) confirms my mistake.

I really screwed up on this one big-time, folks, and I'm sorry about that.
This is especially embarrasing in an email talking about how the community
members need to work together.
