Dear Cornel, I am glad you encourage people to write. I do not consider myself an exceptional writer or good at editing (I send my own pre-publication drafts to friends, two of whom I know are subscribed to this mail list), but I do encourage people to write. My own two bits: if any one here wishes to have his or her drafts read, please send them to me at: valmikif at gmail.com
