Am enjoying the new venue and thought you had more time this week to polish the piece (small Spurrier issue aside). Really enjoyed this and am looking forward to reading all of your writings without wondering if the provider is still in business!

I usually run everything through 4-5 edits. But there is a diminishing return element to editing: if you don't notice a mistake the second time it's because you are blind to it! Maybe this will get big enough that I can hire my eldest (soon to get his English Ed degree) to edit!

I never understand how anybody can edit their own writing. I always read what I meant to say, rather than what I actually said. My only hope at self-editing is waiting until after I forget what I wrote, which fortunately is becoming a shorter and shorter wait period as I age.
