It is not acceptable for any professional publication (such as a
magazine) to have spelling and grammatical errors - regardless
of who is responsible for the errors (the author, proofreader, or
editor).

Agree--however, it's even worse to have content errors.

If the topic is casino comps, then I'd expect better information in Casino Player but fewer grammatical/spelling mistakes in The Wall Street Journal. Now that corporations are in the casino business there are more articles written by non-gambling journalists.

Sure, we'd all like accurate, well-written articles; however, I'd rather read an un-edited hold'em piece by Doyle Brunson than by Peggy Noonan.

THAT'S A GREAT QUIP FROM SOMEONE (LINDA BOYD) WHO DID NOT KNOW THAT THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY HAS HAD A LOTTERY SINCE 1969!
   
  In the election on November 4, 1969, the 1,593,239 YES ballots cast for the Lottery represented about 81.5% of all votes cast. The total was more than 1.2 million votes higher than the 362,947 ballots against the Lottery.

It's certainly nice to have an auditor on the board, pointing
out publishing errors that the rest of us may have overlooked.

Perhaps you can advise us of the VP knowledge and writing ability
that you possess. If your talent matches Linda's fine credentials, I
might feel that you were more justified in sarcastically criticizing
her efforts.

BTW, it is not necessary to hold down the Caps Lock in order to
emphasize your ideas. Most of us are quite capable of "getting"
your point without this additional "help"!

Babe,
   
  Thank you for you tactfulness. I look forward to learning about the credentials of the regular posters to this site (some of whom are new to me) with newfound humility. I'm glad that you and Linda both considered my posts worth responding to. Note that I am not criticizing Linda's efforts. They seem well intentioned. As for sarcasm, I believe she set the tone for that in her Doyle Brunson vs. Peggy Noonan comparison. As for my writing ability, I am proud to be an effective communicator and do not wish to compare myself to or establish myself as someone possessing any expert degree of VP knowledge.
   
  Thank you.
