I never cease to be surprised (and pleased) how many casual vandals
stop editing when I give them a warning message. They're mostly just
kids who've been caught with their hands in the biscuit tin (or
"cookie jar", for all you septics).

I worry there may be a few too many people who've got far too cynical
dealing with vandalism all day, and need to relax a bit.
