::::::::::I didn't revert that part, just the changes to the lead. I've cleaned up your text a bit, fixed the WP:EGG links, removed some of the WP:CITEKILL and reformatted the refs that remain, but left the overall meaning the same. I see the Wdford has gone ahead and updated the lead as per this discussion. 
 ::::::::::BTW as per WP:INDENT you should only add one ":" more than the previous editor used when replying in a talk page - otherwise we get massive unnecessary indenting... if your reply has multiple paragraphs then be sure to use the same number of ":"s on each new paragraph so they all line up.
