I am also a developer and know what respect means, so you are the last person
to "teach" me what moral values mean. However, I can tell that your tone does
not seem friendly, so you need to watch your words before they come to your
mouth.

I am not begging for anything here, but it is just unreasonable to include the
meaningless pageid parameter for deleted pages in the API response. Also, you
cannot explain how you would use the archive ID because it has no meaning for
API requests.
