Mike does not say why he would be surprised. And also uses the term
'assaulted' as response to a question. But this post gets much more
interesting...

This explains nothing. And in fact does not develop confidence in what the
board thinks the vital functions of editor - publications director,
comprise.

True, but it is a prerequisite for qualifiaction, no? If you can't write
yourself you will soon be a subject of little respect among actual writers,
and could subsequenty only employ those who could actually write less than
your own standard.

Questions? You ask questions? But why should your questions be taken
seriously, while all other questions are ignored?
Larry Parr thinks Tim Hanke would make a good editor. So do I. Neither of us
are exactly patzers in the writing game. Do you have some special
qualifications for your own comments? I mean, really, to the degree that you
totally ignore ours?
Politics is a different game than Publishing Mike. Make them the same and
you invent the Soviet Union all over again.
