I don't think they would if they read this:

Are you in favor of this appointment? If so, I would welcome that.  I
may shave conflated Jeremy's opposition to this appointment with
Parminder's opposition to the T&A FP's choices or manner of choosing.
If so, I apologize unreservedly for lumping all attacks on the T&A
folk together.

bothered to reply to!

Which is not really our concern IMHO. We have zero chance of
influencing the T&A FP, and can only further dilute our standing with
continued insistence that they change their mind!
