Shameless!
It's hard to see what will be accomplished by taunting them in this
way.
Rubbing dirt in the faces of the losers is not
particularly
dignified.
If we really are the winners we need to be more

Then you're not understanding what occurred.
What was accomplished is that they *now* allow contributors to make
direct
edits to the articles.
They didn't before.
Sorry, but I hadn't realised that they had done all this just because
