Hi all! Just checking in to let you know what’s happening with the queries I sent out. I’ve received two polite rejections so far. I figure they’re a plus, since they didn’t specify: “…and don’t you EVER send us any more of your crappy so-called writing!”

But she is not proud that the longevity of this feature means that errors still abound! Ah, well. ‘Tis my lot to point out gaffes and make snarky remarks about them, I guess. So here we go once again.
