First ’08 Post: Thank You, “Editors”

JinC has some of the best “editors” in the blogosphere.

And they work 24/7/365. (This year being a leap year, they’ll work 366.)

Here’s the latest example of their work:

At 1:55 AM this New Year’s Day, an Anon “copy editor” noted on the thread of this post that I’d written “2006” where I should have written “2007.”

I thank that “editor” and all the other’s who point out my errors and “add to the story” with thoughtful, informed and on point comments.

You made JinC a better place in 2007; I know you’ll do the same in 2008.

My first ’08 post is a “thank you” as a way of expressing how much I appreciate the help you give me and what you contribute to JinC.

John: Your errors are usually minor and quickly corrected. Weak editors at North Carolina newspaper should follow your lead. One question: Is it surprising that Gottlieb is still on the Durham police force? With his record in dealing with Duke students, it's somewhat surprising that some enterprising attorney hasn't filed a class-action suit on behalf of numerous Duke students who have come in contact with Gottlieb.

Thank You John!

An occasional error in spelling or grammar is easy to overlook when you're reading a blog that's searching for and spreading the TRUTH!
