I've worked on a dozen systems with a dozen editors within the past few years (including an early version of UNIX), and quite frankly I have no desire to learn the ins and outs of every system I come across. I want to do what I want to do without spending a lot of time delving into and keeping up with Joe Blow's twiddles on Jane Doe's twaddles on some piece of software. When someone comes up with a telepathic editor call me; otherwise, I appologize for any errors I make before I hit RETURN. Which editorial board should I submit material to? If the network is precise, it seems to me complaints could be lodged against content as well as form. If all this material is carefully thought out and organized (God help us!), why not forward it to a central cite where dilligent, intelligent workers will not only filter out what they know to be FLAMES, but occasionally even correct a spelling error?
