My early admonition not to do anything was because I thought you were going to follow up your email with another email.
Since W responded, I think it would be fair to acknowledge that, and Coach's email nicely rounds out the situation, and puts some finality to it. As he said, it validates, it affirms, it recognizes your part in what you played, however, it basically "let's go".
Can you send that email, and detach? I mean completely?
