"I am just curious. Sunil, who PM'd you to ease back on John?"
You may be delusional. Seek help, for your own sake. John answered my question, and I thanked him.
Sorry if you took offense to that, Sunil. But I couldn't tell that your question was answered in the thread itself. You see, it seemed clear to me that you wanted to get to the bottom of "Who made that recommendation?". I didn't see that question answered in the thread but indeed you seemed satisfied. I just connected the non-delusional dots and it seemed very plausible that you gained that information from outside the public conversation. Hey if you didn't, then kudos to you.
