Pete,
Thank you for the explanation. But distinguishing whose words are whose in an editing, is basic literary integrity or editing integrity. And just because Greg and Judith did not do it, does not mean it is the right thing to do. Three wrongs do not make a right. You should also include an explanation that TROM went through two previous edits prior to yours, and that you have no idea of whose words are whose, if you in deed don't. One editing by Greg and another by Judith. (But it just occurred to me to ask: are there not tapes for the record?) At least Judith, that I know of, became totally pissed off and disdainful of TROM and gave up. That likely gives some indication as to the difficulty of her case and TROMs inability to help her with her case. Similar to my situation. It is possible that if she would of been helped by TROM, she might of acquired some extra free theta units and did more work and did the editing properly. It is difficult to think of much when the biggest issue is the size and severity of one's case and the desperate need to deal with it. It is a simple matter of priority. Like it has been said, when you are up to your ass in alligators it is hard to think that the main goal is to drain the swamp. A person has to come up the tone scale and theta scale to think and function with full integrity. In this case it is literary integrity or editing integrity. I suspect that Greg also became disdainful too. I know a number of others who did likewise.
