Please keep up with your helpful comments even when nitpicking! While
lacking the full context (no quote of the original mail) I just can wild
guess that possibly a similar thing might have happened as it was some
time ago in one of my packages: In the first place I was overlooking
the real problem which was mentioned in a short sentence after a more
verbose minor comment about spelling.
While I really like your comments it might perhaps cause less friction
(and avoid mails like those from Charles) when you would "tag" your mail
like:
Rejection reason / major problem:
...
Additional hint (not relevant for accepting):
...
or something like this.
Thanks for your work on the NEW queue
Andreas.
