This is the kind of stuff that gets me down. I see some really crappy
prose. I attempt to copyedit it, distilling four separate references
to the plane's nickname ("spruce goose") down to one. Another user
reverts my edit with "Revert- non productive edit- that was an
improvement?"

Reverting is such an unpleasant thing to do to anyone, surely the
balance should be towards "don't revert unless the edit is really
bad", rather than "revert unless the edit is really good". Grr.
