No harm, no foul.
Ignore anything that's irrelevent.
Effective text communication is harder than people think,
but with good reading and comprehension skills, it can be
the most accurate, in technical subjects (where a phone
call can be a waste of time).
Though it's harder to bullshit in text coms, it's still
possible - anything without references should be taken with
a grain of salt.
