Hey Chris,

Please check out my slide show. Yes I'm shamelessly trying to win the i-pod touch. But please help me out anyway.

Thanks.

Thanks for your understanding, but I still must apologize. There are times when I get in a hurry and I don't leave the proper feedback. I never go into detail, but I at least let you know whether it was grammar, style, or both, and I always (at least it should be always) remind the author that they have final say over the piece, so they should change anything they don't agree with. And don't hesitate to contact me with any questions about the edit or if you want a more in-depth report on what I did and why.

So, thanks again for your understanding, and as always, please don't hesitate to let me know of any questions or comments you may have.

Have a great day!
