You seem to be stalking me. I'd request that you go off and work on your own subjects
and stop trying to redo everything I do.

Dear Rick,
You misunderstand me, but it's ok, most people do, so I won't take it
personally. I'm not sure what you mean by me being on the mailing list
anonymously, is my name or email address hidden?
I would say this. Power corrupts, and without adequate self-analysis,
one can become arrogant, throw their weight around, and revert any edits
on the spot just because they didn't understand what the person had
written. Your Chicago edit today for instance, if you'd merely clicked
on the "world city" article, you would have been able to find out what
an "alpha world city" is, but instead you just removed the word
"alpha"
from the article, because you weren't familiar with the term. At least
you gave a reason in your edit comments though, which is an improvement,
so thanks, I was then able to reword the article with the knowledge of
why it had been changed.
Regards,
Ed

It was no mistake. This person is a troll. This is the
same person who came onto the mailing list as an anon, expressing amazement that his edits
to the September 11 attacks page were reverted. His wide-eyed innocent act doesn't
fool me. He's already filed an RfC on me even though I explained to him on his Talk
page why I had acted in the manner I did on the edits he's questioning. I have no
desire to continue discussion with him.

Some admins watch recent changes, and have vandalism in progress on
their watchlists. Other don't. Rick is one of the former. In fact, he
deals with vandalism a lot! His user page regularly gets vandalised, and
his talk page regularly gets messages from vandals that he has blocked
(Who are trying to troll him, or merely expressing an opinion about his
sexuality, or his mothers sexuality etc ;-). He probably mistook you for
one.
