Patronize you?  Ohh, heavens no!  I fully intend to use your replies as
educational material.  Why, I've passed them to colleagues of mine
already.  It's not every day that an off-handed comment made in
frustration at the state of the industry is so immediately and
thoroughly expanded upon.

I think patronizing would look more like: assuming a position of great
authority and noteworthy insight on a list full of professionals by
vaguely citing a situation which they were once exposed to as some kind
of instructive lab of how the "real world" works -- perhaps going
farther to summarizing each of the lessons into a one-line takeaway for
those who were either unable or unwilling to understand their point.

Ahh, I see!  Thanks.  I'll put that with the rest of my notes.
