  I would have written such a proposal as I would have written a
  technical document. In a professional manner. That's just me.

  I am giving this writer the benefit of the doubt by the comparison
  with some who was light years ahead of me in sheer brilliance
  (Swartz). The fact that he says 'addy' instead of address doesn't
  make him stupid nor does it trivialize a possible noble body of
  work. But it does kind of give me a negative impression.
  
  He wrote almost like he was inviting people to a party. Not that
  there's anything wrong with that. :) I wish him/her well.

  cheers
