Adam,

I've read over your protocol spec. I've carefully considered it, and 
I've decided I will not use it in any application I design. There are 
always alternatives. I will use something that is better suited to my needs.

I'd offer more constructive feedback but I am convinced I will be ignored.

I wish you all the best with shipping your protocol. I am sure many 
people will be very interested in it.

Sincerely, Bruce.
