Ant, I really don't think Chris was attempting to be rude.  Yes, he
carelessly took one person's opinion to represent that of several
people, but I am sure that this was an honest mistake, not a malicious
(or even thought-out) attempt to bypass the work you do.

Indeed, I don't think anyone would underestimate the work you do.  I
am sure that this was really only the result of a misunderstanding.
