You are my editor

Henry Copeland points to a story – A world without editors by Jeff Jarvis. Jeff writes about fighting with editor to get his story about weblogs right:

So when I got the “edit” back, I responded by simply asking to kill the piece. [...]

Aw, to hell with it. I decided to just put the piece up here, for you are the audience I care about, not the handful of insular souls who’ll read a self-referential, self-reverential faux scholarly periodical about weblogs — when it would be so much better if they just read weblogs instead.

And if I’m wrong, you’ll tell me. For you are my editor.

This last line is SO powerful…
