You can avoid the technical details, but after explaining how no less than seven researchers rediscovered one of the coolest little ideas in programming, this email includes the lines:

There must be a moral to this story of continual re-discovery;
perhaps someone along the line should have learned to read.
Or someone else learn to write.

That learning how to write (and how to make it possible to find things to read) is one of the big questions I like to research.
