It looks like a genuine apology and I give you full credit. Contrition is rarely witnessed in this or other forums and your example is refreshing.

Hi All,
Halt & Catch Fire has been mentioned before in the lounge, I think. I though it was worth mentioning again as the series goes on you spot more and more. One character seeming to do a Steve Jobs, C++ Object Oriented Nazi's, An early version of EBay, my only gripe is at times the components they are using are too modern (eye-gap LED's) and someone who went to the shop and bought a breadbox C64 and 520 STFM at the same time...

The words, I do understand them, but what are you trying to tell us?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

It doesn't matter that it's bigger if it's floppy.

I cannot believe how many companies and people not only don't have Phone Numbers and Contact Details in Active Directory but don't think a Signature in email is important for like letting us know where in the company hierachy you live and a contact number.
Got a job to do after hours, wait till 19:30 when of course everyone will have left the office and jump on to perform maintenance. Can't get on cause it says it is still logged on, nothing new here, so I reboot and start work only to get an email from a colleague who got the email to say WTF. So I stopped maintenance and loggged off but can't contact the bloke to let him know as office phone on after hours and no other form of contact.
This was an hour after another customer had organised for me to fix her stuff at 15:00, couldn't get hold of her so I left it and came home early as I had other stuff going on until midnight. So at 18:30 I jump on to find her work still open and I could see it was pretty official. Disconnected and tried the office phone as no mobile anywhere. Luckily she answered and put off the work until tomorrow.

Any reason "REPLY" wasn't an option, here?

I did reply to the end user, but no response to say he acknowledged or when he would get off. Had to wait the time I was given as a guesstimate and now get to start much closer to wake up time. Kicked off at 22:00, got another job meant to start at 22:30 and up at 04:00. Yay!

Well, they sent you an email and expected you to be aware of it. So, you did the same. Obviously they were there to annoy you the first time. The ball's in their court, so-to-speak.
4:00 - even I don't start that early.

Took a lot of thought this one, and I am not entirely sure how the clue fits exactly, but it's too close not to have a stab at it...
Cantankerous = difficult
a large ship = tanker
round = o
America = us
And I assume the can is to do with "is able to" part.
Possible you meant "is a large ship able to" = "can tanker"?
