I am with Brian B. and others who have commented on this situation. I'm not going to attempt to assign responsibility in any direction. I will note that email communication is fraught with peril - particularly so in a group that contains numerous individuals of strong opinions (and yes, I include myself in that category). I would like to think that miscommunication is at work here. I would also like to think an amicable resolution will be reached.
