I'm sorry that you've clearly been upset by the situation.  I certainly took on board your contributions (which have been good and very much appreciated) and that is one of the reasons I thought you didn't deserve a ban.  I still think that it was not really vandalism per se, but understand why you (and, indeed, some others) believe it to be.  RC patrol is a thankless job, yes, and so are many other areas of this project - it's a shame, but it's just normal to be picked up for something slightly wrong and not thanked for the many positive things we've done.  For what it's worth, thanks. 

 The intention of my warning was to ask you to stop reverting and remind you of the 3RR.  I didn't know if you were aware of it, and wanted to warn you and deal with the situation before another admin came along after a WP:AN/3RR report.    9 July 2005 13:13 (UTC)
