And then Ray Saintonge made me pay attention by writing: I would, however, recommend that you discuss the matter with [[User:Angela]] who is the person who made the change.
Me? Oh, I'd been ignoring this whole debate until I saw my name mentioned. I really don't care either way. I thought what I was doing was making it consistent with other articles. If you have a problem with it you should have changed it back, mentioned it on the talk page or asked me directly. I was not "not respecting your wish". I didn't know that was your wish. Maybe I just thought you'd missed it out accidentally. It wasn't meant to impose on "your" article in any way and you are quite free to remove it. I don't even remember making the edit - although as it was at 5.30am I was probably asleep anyway. :-).
I apologise for having caused you any distress or to feel that your views were not being respected. This was certainly not my intention.
Angela
