woah... I worked in newspapers (granted, university rag level) and I can tell you that there are two kinds of editors, or rather submission forms: the one that gets back to you and tells you what they're going to cut and the other that's made up of people who won't, chop up your work, and then generally don't care. The way they changed your writing might as well be used for an anti-Bryce article. It is shameful. I'd ask them why they did it before I'd jump and tell them they're arseholes, but yeah... very unfortunate. Drac
