Relax, I have no intention of reverting your commit without you first agreeing 
to it.  

I would only attempt to revert something if I thought it was grossly 
inappropriate for it to be in the repository (such as link to a personal 
twitter account).  This is just a small issue that for some strange reason 
requires 50+ emails to resolve.

Regards
Scott
