As Professor I-can't-remember-his-name said

    "The best editing is done with an eraser."

I'd quote him, but I can't remember his name, nor does he seem to appear on the current U of T faculty list--I checked. I know--sad, isn't it?

I'm sitting here, faced with a document that just keeps growing in length every time it comes back to me, sprouting repetition and redundancy from every orifice. Ugh. I feel embarrassed to have to be the one who inserts the edits, and then has to redistribute said document...
...

Update: 2:47pm
I'm still ADDING to the damned thing...it's sprawling over page breaks now.

Patenall. That's what his name was. Professor Patenall.
