I like your style, Sweety.

“Otherwise the author looks sloppy and ignorant putting into jeopardy the excellent points he or she made.”

Of course. But even the best editors miss things, occasionally, and usually have the opportunity to correct things that were missed. Have a look at the original article, and you’ll see it was corrected before all the criticism, rightly deserved.

How would you suggest an honest error be corrected on FR, I do not care how careful a writer or poster is, inadvertent mistakes make it under the wire, and FR makes no provision for correcting those kinds of mistakes.

Anyway, please know I understand your criticism, and appreciate them.

Hank

Well it could be done the way I do it professionally. I look at it one day and forward it to a co-worker for review. That co-worker looks at it, and then returns it to me. I then let it sit for at least 24 hours.

Then I look at it again and forward it to the boss. He looks at it and sends it back to me where I read it a final time word for word as if I've never seen it before.

You see Hank, we write things like this for a living. People actually pay us for sh** like this. If we write crap, that's what we get in return.

If we write well and better than our competition, we are rewarded

Please accept this in the spirit in which it's offered. This kind of thing is too important to be done in a slipshod manner.

Best,

L
