Biting? It seems to me that Mr. Suffield's mail had no purpose but to
antagonize its recipients. It didn't do anything constructive at all.
If Mr. Suffield had "How to Ask Smart Questions" in mind when writing his
useless mail, perhaps he should have saved the "user error" remark and
instead just provided a url to that document.
That would have at least taught the user a lesson, and given the mail some
value to its recipients.
