Different things work for different people...as long as your editing ins't a stall tactic :O I think there comes a time whe you have to "push your chair back from the table."

I've just come back to a ms. to clean it up and streamline it a bit and I'm AMAZED at all the little boo-boos no one (including me) caught that I'm finding now. :blush:<br /> <br /> Silly stuff like forgetting to close a quote :doze: They say distance from your work is a good thing.
