[FORM] Kostia tells everyone, ‘elizabeth, who’s in charge of managing projects and version control, sent out an email to everyone with some simple reminders of version control processes’.

[FORM] Kostia tells everyone, ‘like to put the date on your files and mark stuff with your initials’.

[FORM] Kostia tells everyone, ‘simple shit’.

[FORM] Kostia tells everyone, ‘shelley printed this email, and wrote the following words on the printout:’.

[FORM] Kostia tells everyone, ‘I HIT THE ROOF. ELIZABETH IS NOT TO BE SENDING INSTRUCTIONS TO EVERYONE.’.

[FORM] Kostia tells everyone, ‘then she gave the printout, so marked, to elizabeth’.

[FORM] Kostia tells everyone, ‘and told her to write up an email about version control so that shelley could send it out under her OWN name’.

[FORM] Kostia tells everyone, ‘and the email that “shelley” will be sending out differs from elizabeth’s original email only in that where elizabeth used the word “please” shelley crossed it out’.
