This is the second time I've received this exact same criticism, and I
wasn't 100% sure whether to include the line in the first place.  
Therefore, I will cut the line from any future forwardings, and anyone
else who wishes to quote or forward my essay may either cut it as well,
or, depending on the audience, add an editorial footnote to that line
indicating that it was only a "first draft" inclusion.

I appreciate the feedback!
