(undent). Once again, you've caused me no stress, and there is no need to apologize. -) You were unfortunate to run into immature, truculent editors. Immature editors are shocked and offended when they hit up against the hard reality that their first draft is not as Pulitzer prize-worthy  as they have imagined it is... and indeed, that no one's first drafts are so wonderful. Seasoned editors quietly get to work improving things. Immature editors cry "Foul!".
Keep up the good work,
