David,

That's the kind of encouragement I was hoping to hear, which is why I didn't say anything about editing. I wanted the editor to supply words that may encourage some people here to get out and write.

A few are so far from being writers that it's a painful experience for all, but most I have edited have been either good or at least trainable (with a few very notable exceptions).
