 MvdV> You claim you actually do "editing". So you should have noticed the
 MvdV> deviation and "edited" it.

   Of course I should have. But when it comes to contributions from some of the
major ones, I tend to just take a short glance at it. It usually is perfectly
done so I trust it to be perfect as usual.

   Just as I missed your automated contribution, in the midst of one new every
week, not so long ago, where in an ideal world, I should have noticed the
longer than 70 chars/line error.

   I'm just a human being, performing a job without pay (and very little
appreciation) for soon to be 20 years. If you want a perfect editor on the job,
you probably have to pay up big time. In the meantime you'll have to accept a
total catastrophe like the one with a few miscoded apostrophises.
