You can't have it both ways, OK?

If it isn't obvious to you by now, I don't trust you to see the intent behind my implementation choices, since you did not see the (obvious to me) relationship between the changes I initially submitted. Since you were unwilling to discuss *why* I made the changes the way I did, and instead simply rejected them without discussion, you should be able to understand why I want to spoon-feed them to you in chunks. I'd rather not have you exercise "editorial license" to remove what you see as "unrelated and useless changes" and what I see as necessary support infrastructure for what I want to do next. That is, I'd rather you didn't prevent me from doing what I want to do next because you aren't willing to spend the time to find out where I'm headed. I am here to work on a platform which provides me the ability to do further research. I am not here to be your code supermarket. I'd rather have no editiorial criticism than destructive editorial criticism, thank you. Giving you the changes incrementally seems to be the only reliable way to achieve this.
