..and I wish I wasn't.
For the second time, an entry of mine has gone through editing & come out worse, in my opinion, than when it went in. Unless the editorial process is improved, I don't think I shall write any more entries. I don't want my name attached to writing that I feel is of an unsatisfactory standard.
Rant over.

Hi Teasswill
What a surprise that was to see this on the front page with no warning in the subbing thread - I am very disappointed too...
If they were going to put an Entry through with minimal editing, they should have chosen your original version. Z doesn't even get credited in the author list, but it is his rewrite... Didn't take into account some of our suggestions, and certainly didn't get your OK first...
Rant indeed...
Time for a cup of tea
All the best
Sasha

I have contacted Z - apparently he passed it on to someone else without the accompanying convo. He's getting in touch with the Eds, so maybe we'll get some amendments.
Thanks for your interest.

Thanks Teasswill - I have seen the message trail, so the situation makes more sense now.
And I see you don't like tea, so here is a beverage of your choice
