I've seen emails on this thread of two sorts so far:

Quite a few emails have
1 - Expressed approval of the decision, and
2 - Not addressed any of the substantive issues from the previous discussion.

A small number of emails have
1 - Not expressed approval of the decision, and
2 - Also discussed the substance of the issues from the previous discussion.

I propose the likely possibility that variable #2, not variable #1, is
the reason the emails of the latter sort have been addressed by the SAA,
while emails of the former sort have not been.  It's just that the
correlation of the two variables has been perfect so far, I think.
