I have never seen an email like this before, from anybody.  Either
Rick is showing uncommon flexibility of mind, or it's a forgery from
someone with a sense of humor that is beyond me.  I say this without
having made any attempt to keep myself informed of the context, so I
don't know whether Rick's apparent self-doubts have any merit.

Assuming Rick really wrote it, my opinion of him just went up a few
notches.
