Forgive me, Zoe ... and Schneider ... et al

OK, OK. Yes, it is a little disconcerting to have editors -- and notably copy editors -- reading your blog when you've just posted an item which contains things such as:

• "... grand old weathered building which architecture buffs marvel at."
• "The globe, 19-feet around, with marks countries like the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia ..."

So, to Zoe, Heather, Jody, Alice, Carol, Linda, Kelly, Cindy, Beryl, Tom, Schneider (yes, I did that on purpose), Carolyn, Karen, Maria, Bob, Maribel, Kate, Mike, Rich, Shawn, Terry, Tony, Valerie, Linda, Billy, Vicky and whomever I've missed ... please be tolerant.
