It was being done as soon as we received your first message. The system is being taken off line by the systems administrator.

Thats fine, however, we do. If we determine that what has happened here is actionable, we will forward this to the proper authority. *This* is why I needed more information. The initial initial interviews indicate that this was not intentional - I want to make sure that this is the case. If someone here had received a mailbomb, I would want a head on a platter. Because of my empathy with your situation, I am taking this very seriously. If Mr. Tran is guilty of any malicious acts, in this case, I will see to it that appropriate actions are taken.
If the tone of any of my messages has mislead you as to my intent, I apologize. Clearly, I intend to investigate this as far as possible.
I recognize the fact that e-mail does not allow for the same level of communication as direct one-on-one (or even voice only), so it is easy to miss the true meaning of any statement.

I truly doubt that you want to start a pissing contest. It will accomplish nothing and create a battle over an issue where we are on the same side.
