Thanks--For Slipping

Ed. note: Your editors disagreed about this one. Said one: "Sometimes we learn through just such episodes as this that you really can't fool around." From another: "This piece says something very important, especially to newcomers, but it's a negative approach, short on compassion and humility." And so the argument went, until your editors came up with an agreement: "It's one guy's opinion and he's entitled to it!" We'd like to refer the reader, however, to "You Don't Have To Slip" (September Grapevine). . .just to balance things out.
