I'm kind of new here, but my feeling is that Adam will just take this
as more evidence of animosity. I don't want to have him stop editing,
because he IS a good editor, but I don't want him making personal
attacks on me (or anyone else). It gets in the way of constructive
discussion, quite apart from it being annoying.
