I definitely agree with you.  The site is a very personal work and the intent is to raise the level of writing by catching errors or such.  Honestly, and I am not intending to insult anyone, I do not want an editor.  Badmovies.org has to be my outlet, despite being just a dumb Marine.

At present, I would like to ask AndyC, Mofo Rising, and Derf to proofread.  I will enable access to the new board and send you all a message with the link.

On the other hand, if anyone does note a mistake in one of the reviews then I have an idea.  I will post a sticky for the month of June (starting now, in May).  Put the mistake in the thread and I will put your name on the list.  At the end of June I will randomly pick someone out of the group (probably via a php script) and ask what free DVD I can send you for the help.  AndyC, Mofo Rising, and Derf will always be eligible.

Sounds fair.  Going with the known quantities....

If any error jumps out at me I'll let you know.

I know English much good.  Actually, I'd love to help out, but don't have the time with two jobs.   I do appreciate the commitment to quality, thats for darn sure.  But hey, I'm not a stickler either, if a dangling participle gets past the censors, I won't tear up my membership card.
