“Just so, every good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. So by their fruits you will know them.” […]
Just because all of these things take place in the street doesn't mean they are the same. And if you can't understand the distinction, and if you can't see why people on both sides of the aisle are resistant to the idea of a military parade, you are truly hopeless. — Lee Potts, OFS ? […]

4. Again, I've been out of the editing game for a long while, what are the other option? My concern is that most journals are a labor of love with very little time and limited fiscal resources. — Lee Potts, OFS ? (@LeePottsPoet) February 8, 2018
2. Having been an editor when it was all physical manuscripts, I can't imagine the logistical nightmare it would be to administer hundreds of manuscripts and several editors via email 3. I agree completely with this point — Lee Potts, OFS ? (@LeePottsPoet) February 8, 2018
1. When I emphasized small I had <$3 in mind. I was thinking about the cost of postage, maybe a little more — Lee Potts, OFS ? (@LeePottsPoet) February 8, 2018
