I'[ve moved it back. Either Jon is trolling, in which case he doesn't
deserve any more than the page being moved back and locked in place
(which I've done), or he really doesn't appreciate how stupid this is
- and he's reverted it being moved at least once so far - in which
case no mere discussion will sway him and there's no plausible reason
to wait on such.
