Clever again.  :)

The original articles are on the newswire.  I've edited both (mostly the
tree-trimming one; the other needed almost no editing), but don't know
how to publish my edited version, and don't know if I'm supposed to or
what the procedure is.

Sent info to Brent.  Don't know if he'll follow up or not.  If we use it,
the group can decide whether it's "Art" or "Media".

I've edited it some more.  Again, not posted to newswire because I don't
know how or why.

Neither is likely to happen for this issue, and we already have two
articles that are arguably Environment.

Could someone tell ME what the newswire/web site is for?  Remind me
again; I'm obviously not as smart as the rest of you.  I originally
didn't see the point of it, and sort of still don't.  Yet I've been
reading it religiously, downloading articles from it to edit, and making
comments.  I seem to be virtually the only one doing so, at least in the
past week or two.  You, Paul, an Editor/Facilitator, don't seem to even
know what is posted there and what isn't.  I really don't get it.
