    How many of us have been on both sides of that?

    I'll admit it. Mistakes get made. Just hard to respect the guy who thinks he's a great editor -- "I'll massage it just right!" -- and leaves two or three times more errors in there than when the copy landed. I used to cringe when I would get the paper the next day to see what new and creative ways were used for it to be mangled.

    Nothing worse than being the only guy in your office and trying to get work done when the copy desk starts loudly complaining about useless topics for a good hour.

    Yeah. Nothing worse than that.

    Versatile isn't saying the guy can't make a mistake, isn't even saying he did it on purpose. He's venting. And as long as he's anonymous, let him vent. No issues here.
