Until yesterday, I did not know that I could go back and edit posts.

Oh how I wish I did not have this information. I have been trying to abstain, restrain, refrain from going back through all the stuff I have written.

I, too, can be compulsive about proofreading, but no matter how hard I try, things get by me. I always feel like a typo that has gone to print is akin to appearing in public with spinach caught between my front teeth. But I know that most people don't worry about it. (typos not spinach)

I shared that little poem to make all of us feel better. To "air" is human. Right? (There are some of you who will know how much I had to agonize over using those quotation marks around that word in the last sentence. Should I have been more subtle? Was it like laughing at my own joke?) Oh dear, this is worse than trying to ferret out typos.

Since the beginning of this thread, my compulsive proofreading and my nice manners have been wrestling. But I can no longer keep quiet. I must add to the angst. Take a look at the typo in the subject line. OK, now it's out there. I can go on with my day. But I feel guilty for pointing it out. It seems rude to do so.

JohnZ, you write good stuff. Thank you.
