It's always a great deal of fun telling someone who's very mad at you that, despite your name being the only one appended to a piece they're upset about, it actually passed through one or more additional hands and that one of them changed the piece and that you not only can't tell them why the change was made but even who did it.(To be fair, most of the time, those other hands actually save your butt and make you look better, although not editors are created equal -- not even close.)</blockquote>
