You seem to be stalking me. I'd request that you go off and work on your own subjects and stop trying to redo everything I do.

You misunderstand me, but it's ok, most people do, so I won't take it personally. I'm not sure what you mean by me being on the mailing list anonymously, is my name or email address hidden?
I would say this. Power corrupts, and without adequate self-analysis, one can become arrogant, throw their weight around, and revert any edits on the spot just because they didn't understand what the person had written. Your Chicago edit today for instance, if you'd merely clicked on the "world city" article, you would have been able to find out what an "alpha world city" is, but instead you just removed the word "alpha" from the article, because you weren't familiar with the term. At least you gave a reason in your edit comments though, which is an improvement, so thanks, I was then able to reword the article with the knowledge of why it had been changed.
Regards, Ed

It was no mistake. This person is a troll. This is the same person who came onto the mailing list as an anon, expressing amazement that his edits to the September 11 attacks page were reverted. His wide-eyed innocent act doesn't fool me. He's already filed an RfC on me even though I explained to him on his Talk page why I had acted in the manner I did on the edits he's questioning. I have no desire to continue discussion with him.

His user page regularly gets vandalised, and his talk page regularly gets messages from vandals that he has blocked (Who are trying to troll him, or merely expressing an opinion about his sexuality, or his mothers sexuality etc ;-). He probably mistook you for one.
