Sean,

This dialogue just started with me asking a question and trying to be 
helpful. Try to be less of a prick. The mailing list is for all users, not 
just your small clique of regular users.

The very fact that you try to make a distinction between "the general
editors" and "you people" makes it clear you have no idea who "the
general editors" are or what they want.

And when presented with the fact that the consensus of the Wikipedia
community doesn't like it, you state your intention to annoy that
community "more frequently."  I personally don't think that's a good way
to persuade people, but please don't let my opinion cause you to
hesitate.  Annoy the community as frequently you want.
