Greetings Soylentils! This is your captain and overlord of editors Dopefish speaking, with an exciting announcement.
I'm pleased to announce that we have two freshly minted editors added to our team here at SoylentNews and their handles are janrinok and girlwhowaspluggedout. They have demonstrated a passion for the site through their submissions and contributions via comments.
With these new additions to our editorial staff, we will keep pushing the site to new heights and help increase the number of quality submissions that post to the main page for all to see and enjoy. Furthermore, janrinok and girlwhowaspluggedout are based out of France and Israel, respectively, which should both improve editor coverage during the hours when the Americas are asleep and, more significantly, help us post news that appeals to international members of our community.
Thank you all for your continued interest in SoylentNews and keep up the good fight! This is Dopefish signing off.
~Dopefish

Thank you.
Your expectations are as high as mine. The desire to finally see some proper editing is the reason I wanted to become an editor, and my goal here is to serve this community by being the best damned editor I can be.
I do, however, apologize ahead of time for any dupes, typos, or editorial foibles I may make.
Soylent is the best disinfectant.

This is what I suspected. The moderation on /. was a *lot* better back when Pope Alexander was running the show.
Anyway, congratulations!

Your first one I've seen (the 'ancient dental plaque' story) was very well done. Two thumbs up!
And there is no Alkibiades to come back and save us from ourselves.

To err is human, to forgive is canine.

Don't sweat it. Any editorial standard, mistakes or no, is better than what the Dice-heads were doing.
That is all.
