Editor's Note

Happy New Year!

A few compliler's notes. I usually append ?format=light to most LJ links; I'm now using ?style=mine so it's readable for most users. Also, my old laptop finally died, so I'm on a new one. I tried to transfer everything over, make sure I didn't get smart quotes, etc. but it often happens that names get changed by Word when I don't want them. So if I have your name wrong, give me a poke and I'll kick this new Word and add your name to my dictionary. Or if I've made any other mistakes, please let me know so I can fix it. Thanks!
