:::::"if you find an edit by another established editor "unhelpful and disruptive", it would be smarter to drop them a message than to revert or undo. Food for thought." - I don't know you from Adam, in fact I wasn't even aware you were anything to do with the Hegarty thing, until I went back and looked at it. I think you overestimate your self-importance. You're just one of dozens of editors I have dealings with. It would help, however, if you chose a more unusual username than "John"... it doesn't make you memorable enough. 

 :::::I didn't find your edits particularly helpful, and I stick by that. In the past I have dropped dozens of messages on people's talk pages. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't.
