The stock answer is a little curt. I've suggested a more verbose and
slightly more sensitive stock answer. The advantage of stock answers is
that you only write them once and use them often, so they can be as long
as they need to be.

Mind if I precede "comment" with "nice" or "sensitive"? It's advised,
IMHO, to refer to the question, or re-ask it (stock answers are tricky
for things like this - I would like to have "the question(s) in comment
#NNN" be in the stock answer - is that OK?).

Cheers,
Dave.
