Hi Peter,

In the future, can you please bring up an issue like this on the mailing 
list before just reverting another developer's work? I'm more than happy 
to work with you to get that problem resolved while getting what I need, 
but straight up removing my work without even giving me a chance to fix 
it is inappropriate.

Thanks,
Shea
