Hi Greg - You're barking up the wrong tree here: none of us as individuals are involved in moderating wiki-en-L. The moderators are found here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l#Admins
As a general suggestion, you may find you have more success in having your posts accepted if you present your larger point rather than making a pithy comment that is out of context.
