You've done this again on the one X-Files page. You've also been doing it on other pages - If not removing the 'USA' then infinitesimally changing the flag image thumbnail size (and do tell what professional style guide says you must change a picture thumbnail 2 pixels in size?). Anyway, pretty sure I'm reading right here that you were told by one of those who administrates the site to stop doing that.
