Why am I supposed to be reading Brion's talk page to figure out what you were doing on a completely different page? That is silly.
When making reversions, the smart militiaman/volunteer fireman checks user contribs for other pages that might need to be fixed. This would have quickly turned up Ant's note on my talk page.
Yes, perhaps the page's talk page would have been a better place, but had you, mav, been playing your part you would have seen it anyway.
When edits are reverted without consideration, that's a policy issue.
I considered your changes - and I disagreed with them. Especially the part where your browser /destroyed/ the page. Hence this is a technical issue.
I like how you explain your disagreement with her changes: "REVERT page from utter destruction". Clear as mud...
Now, mav, I suggest you apologize to Anthere.
Anthere, I suggest you accept the apology.
And I will try to find a technical fix for the linebreak insertion.
