My comment was actually aimed sarcastically...  (Or is this forbidden
as an act of gross incivility in itself?)  My complaint was both with
the pervading use of templates and the impression that "warnings" need
to be given, rather than "requests".

Thinking about it as a warning will make it seem a punishment.
