A bunch of people have said useful things.

Email is probably not the way to deal with this situation. You should schedule face time with whomever made the decision.

If there are dysfunctional politics, it is unlikely anyone will clue you in writing. The odds are much better tha somebody will (perhaps confidentially) tell you the real issue in person.

It has been my experience that email is not a good way to get willfully non-technical types to understand the important nuances. If somebody doesn't understand the difference between RAM and disc, they aren't going to bother with your email, but might pay attention when you make little circles with your finger to simulate a spinning disc.

Hope this helps

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
