You've accused me of making demands before. I'm not at all put out,

  It's very frustrating

A statement of how I feel about something. In hindsight, the "very"

  that a discussion about creating a single new face has got
  sidetracked into this issue.

A statement that I think the discussion has been sidetracked.

  We have already had this discussion.

A statement of fact.

  No-one agreed with you.

A statement of fact.

  Please read the references Reiner supplied.

A request framed in a normal level of politeness. I don't know how you
want me to ask you things if you think this is a "demand".

Reiner also supplied the name of the thread and the month it took
place in. I thought this was how you normally found old mailing list
