Thank you for reading my message, and for your civil and constructive criticism. With that said, I believe I might have already addressed your concern in the original message through the choice of words *the only other*, referring specifically to the example in your message, rather than *the only* (which, as you point out, would be quite incorrect!). Nevertheless, I absolutely agree with you that it is a shame to repeat such things, habits, etc, and I appreciate your dedication to such things.

Cheers,
Kevin
