The point I was making about the spaces is that it doesn't matter what you were taught - we are right because we have the luxury of deciding that we are right in this circumstance. Just as we use International English spellings for words like "colourist" rather than "colorist."

You'll have no argument from me that "repair, don't revert" is the ideal method of handling things, but my point was that you are among the first people to receive the benefit of the doubt in a while, and as such, you are already receiving special treatment, by comparison.

Making things unpleasant for new editors is a good way to weed out the editors who were never going to do much good around here anyway.
