Sean,
I don't mean to pick on you, but this sounds like something my mother would
say. I think it's fair to say that you probably have a better command of the
written word than the product manager. I wouldn't give it too much thought.
I think it's great that you received some personal recognition. It's obvious
that you are doing a great job over there.
