I just asked in the admin.suggestions for the ability to prevent or remove
highlights for any of my posts. I would have much rather kept this local to
admin.general.
I think the discussion was important for LUGNET, but not good to subject all of
LUGNET with.
Another idea was, how come we can't vote to unhighlight. Currently the only
thing we can do is highlight. I'll suggest this over in admin.suggest.
