I thought Edietrix court copywrityrs spilling misteaks, punk2ashun, an udder errors of omission and commission ;)

Proofreaders correct misspellings, bad punctuation, font problems, various physical problems such as poor indenting, etc. Copy editors have more leeway, tweaking awkward syntax, correcting factual errors, etc. Editors are the generals, making all the strategic decisions.

First you got the big hugs in text and then you got the kisses in symbols. Made sense to me.

Never thought about the Os as hugs. I like it.

And yes -- hugs in words and kisses in symbols. Seemed a bit soppy to write 'kisses'. But, hey, why hold back?
