Once again I offer to proofread those articles that are in early. If you want your article to be proofed before publication get it in to Pete ASAP.
I'll be submitting my article "Writing about Writing" this month. (and it's already proofed :D )

In order to write good English, you need to make an effort to do so, until it becomes part of your style.

I'm going to start a series on Copyright and various liscening issues. While it isn't related to the business of coding in QB/FB it is something that people that write code do need to think about, especially now that FB allows us to use so many more libraries then were possible with QB.
