No you're not (sure, that is). :-) What all are you trying to do? It
would seem fairly simple, instead of composing a message to the
moderator, just drop the rejected message in the bit bucket and exit.

I doubt it, since Jason seems to have a pretty good handle on what he's
doing and took a different approach in Mj2. I'd worry that any massive
changes, whether by cleanup or meat axe, will introduce more problems
than they'd fix at this stage.
