While there may be things of value in your replies I would kindly ask you [again] to try and keep your replies brief. If one is to choose between working on a feature/bug and reading a 900+ (word) email I'd imagine they'll choose the former. I'm saying this for your own good - hopefully you'll consider it as such and adjust accordingly.
