Actually, I thought I was obeying MGM's voluntary injunction, and acting in an
immaculate manner. I had absolutely no clue whatsoever that the edits I was making could
be considered reverts by anyone. I had made two reverts the day before, and thought I had
made none the day in question. AFAIK I made 2 reverts in a 24hr period, not 4. I can see
how one of my edits may be considered a revert, because I did edit an out of date page,
but I also inserted what were said on the talk page to be important edits by andreas, the
guy who had reverted me. So mmmaybe 3 revets in 24 hrs, but that last was very dubious,
since I inserted content from his edits as well. I tend to think this is less a problem w
the wording of the policy than it is a situation of an admin attempting to be overly
"fair" in response to an email.
