My Status Report Template

To anonymous:

Thank you for taking the trouble to comment. However, unless you identify yourself and provide some way to contact you to discuss further why you think it is useless, I am tempted to think you are only trying to discourage without a valid reason.

(Aside from the fact it is cowardly to remain anonymous).
