Here is my thought. Journalists are always looking for sensationalistic, portentious and often pretentious names to stick on rather ordinary concepts. A short relatively mild market cycle is "Bubble 2.0". The first major strain in Russo-American relations is "The New Cold War". The best musical artist of 1999 gets called "Musician of the Millenium." Two years later, no one remembers or cares. Robert A.West (Talk) 03:00, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Refactoring comments, as you presumed to do with my own and others, is widely held to be uncivil. On an AfD, it also hides the discussion of the article, which is the purpose of the AfD. Despite our habits, developed for the convenience of the closing administrator, AfD is not a vote; it is intended to be a discussion; m:Voting is evil. Please do not do this again.

If you believe my moving discussions to the talk page was refactoring, you can feel free to revert. It was done in good faith, and it is not, as you assert, "widely held to be uncivil." Nevertheless, your assertions that my efforts were "vandalism" or done to sway the discussion in my favour are offensive, incorrect, and out of line.   user:j    (aka justen)   16:20, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad it brought you comfort!
