(I did remove the name from the commit to protect the innocent, but you outed yourself!) ;-) I was hoping someone -- preferably a lurker volunteer -- would see the note and say, "hey, I could help correct those kinds of problems," and hop in to help. We'll see if that happens... I picked up a lot of the style and composition tips I posted while working on this very project as a new user. There are good reasons to take a more objective approach in writing, and you, I, and other writers can keep these things in mind as we write. But if you're simply trying to beef up content quickly, there's no reason to spend a lot of time self-editing, to be sure. In other words, you can look at those criticisms, and say to yourself, "Great, I'll look at that once I've finished dumping raw content." -- Paul W.
