hey, thanks for the edit. but, i spelled milwaukee right and you spelled it wrong. i just checked.
so, you should do some research before you go and edit. god, you editors shouldn't be editing if you screw up.
no offence. but, i'm just ticked off because i've had some editors screw up some of my recent articles.
i did do spell check, btw.

Thanks for the edit, Marc. I noticed much of what you edited on my piece was something that was wrongly changed by a previous editor, and you changed it back. There has to be some way all editors can get on the same page with each other...
Also, thanks for the helpful feedback. I also felt it began to repeat towards the end. That was my fear, but I wanted to get everything I had to say in there. Once I wrote it, I was torn on whether to publish it or not. I took to me two days to just post it. For some reason, I was very picky with the outcome.
Thanks again, Christian

Should baseball do something to the Cubs?

Thanks for the constructive criticism Marc and it's perfectly reasonable again.
However, sometimes I write for a general audience and sometimes I write for the SF Giants community which I'm a C/L and for which I'm a FC. I'm not gonna argue this is the best idea or even a good one, but it is what it is.
This one is obviously for the smaller audience who would already be familiar with the incident and, hopefully, the link gives enough background for those unfamiliar with it.
Again, though, I see what you mean.
Thanks.

Thanks for the edit and the useful feedback Marc, but what typos were there? In the revision it shows a crossing out of a word and an insertion of the exact same word spelled the same way. Was it spacing errors? Thanks again buddy, and take care.

Marc, thanks very much for the great edits and helpful criticism.
Re the lede (was that a typo or is that how it's spelled for journalistic purposes?)—I won't pretend you don't have a point. I struggle a bit with introductions and conclusions so, if anything is gonna be noticeably weak, it's usually one or the other. Hopefully not both ;-)
I'm gonna leave it just b/c I feel this particular one is necessary if not artful, but I'll keep your comment in mind for future efforts.
Also, just a heads up—I'm gonna go back in to add a couple tags that I omitted when I published. Everything you did was stellar.
