Elementary! Since apples have smoother skins than figs there will be
less friction and that train will go faster. :-)
The problem where there are pears instead of figs is more difficult
because the skins are similar. We would need to study the relative
aerodynamics of the two forms.
The basic problem is one of ego. For a place that
prides itself on
collegiality among editors, and particularly among administrators, we simply
step on one another's toes too often. I don't see why we need to have all
this parsing and ABC'ing when what we really need is to tug on a few ears
and remind each other that it's rarely polite to undermine someone without
so much as a word.
Sure. If the original administrator to take action feels undermined by
a single reversal it is a matter of putting his ego ahead of the good of
the community. The reverter should explain what he is doing, but at
this stage an explanatory note with the revert will suffice.
