A Response to the March 6th, 2007 Jambo editorial from Managing Editor of the Full Packer Report
Hi folks, first of all I would like to thank Jambo for his thoughts and concerns regarding the editing and managerial practices that take place everyday behind the scenes of the Full Packer Report. He is a consistent contributor and I congratulate and applaud him for his efforts.
As you can imagine, keeping the reader up-to-date on the comings and goings of this very progressive organization is a full time job. And when I say “readers”, I am not just referring to the members of the Full Packer organization. I am referring to family, friends and coworkers. I would even go as far to say that there may be individuals who have stumbled across the Full Packer Report by accident and now have become an avid reader, devoted to our adventures and yes, sometimes misadventures. I thank every one of you for your support, it means so much to all of the Full Packers.
First of all, it has been said that all great writers need great editors. As managing editor of this online newspaper, not to say chief photojournalist, I hope the readers would say I do fairly good job managing the content and quality of the report, while maintaining a journalistic flow of text. Having said this, I will admit, and have done so publicly, spelling is not my greatest attribute and there are times when this deficiency does poke its nasty head through the words of the page.
Let me show you a few examples of how even with best intentions, misspellings can innocently occur. For example lets take Jambo’s March 6th editorial.
Example #1 & 2– Jambo writes, “I am greatly dismayed by the misprepresentation of the 18th Winter Meeting of the Fullpackers in the most recent FPR press release.” – I believe he meant misrepresentation not misprepresentation. Also, Fullpackers should be Full Packers.
Example #3 – Jambo writes, “Embracement(sic) should read "embarassment" – no Jambo, embarassment is actually spelled embarrassment, I’m afraid we both wrong.
Example #4 – Jambo writes, “The FP organization is built on diversity, inclusion and accomodation…” accomodation is an incorrect spelling; it should be accommodation.
Example #5 – Jambo writes, “After Cap's ambitious, albeit unsanctioned ascent of Mt. Ranier…” I’m sorry Jambo once again, the correct spelling of Ranier should be Rainier.
The staff here at the Full Packer Report takes pride in the stories that find their way onto these virtual pages. However, there are times when expediency leads to error and I apologize for any Full Packer story posted to this site that may be less than what it should be.
Thank you Jambo for your editorial contribution. Long live the Full Packers and the Full Packer Report.
