"judicious skimming"

That's why we (readers) pay editors! Readers shouldn't have to do any skimming at all! Are editors only a substitute for "Spell Check?"

I can't believe I'm the only reader who has noticed that apparently editors have no ink in their red pens (or money in their bank accounts)! Come on up to Sturgeon Bay where the ink is still fresh (until it freezes in winter). No wonder books are an endangered species; so is attention span.
