That's always a good start...

My intention wasn't to be condescending, just honest.

And I agree that my choice of words may not be terribly motivating.

However I figured that there are a lot of readers on this mailing list
whose "minuscule" amount of work in order to make some sense out of
these mails will probably add up to a considerably higher effort than
the amount of work needed to make those mails a bit more informative.

I might be wrong about that, of course.
