As I sit here teary eyed after reading, not just your post, (which had me balling by the 2nd leg...) I'm more dark JVL then most but here,in the comments... let's me know that we are not alone

While I usually fact-check before posting, I could see the comment count soaring as I typed, so I just hit тАЬsubmit.тАЭ Looking into it, I see I had a distorted view of whoтАЩs тАЬon staffтАЭ and whoтАЩs a contributor. And I obviously forgot some important names. But no matter тАФ IтАЩm not going to correct the post beyond the typos I fixed earlier.
Because I was most definitely *not* doing journalismтАФ I was just writing from my feelings. And as many editors IтАЩve had and dreadтАФI mean, respected!тАФover the course of my life would tell you, тАШeditingтАЩ (and especially тАШcopyeditingтАЩ) can *feel* like a soulless task when youтАЩre working with something straight from the gut. So I will leave my comment alone. Those of you I forgot or whom I miscategorized тАФ just know IтАЩve benefitted from your contributions too, and I know it.
Right back at you Trey.
