@AFB16 I agree, the work is what you ultimately base your decision on, but it's nice when someone has done their homework and mentioned the editor by name.

@AFB16 I may have told you this story before, but once I had a submission to Alligator Juniper that was addressed Dear Sirs. We happened to be an all-female staff that year so it was particularly INCORRECT. But also, just so old-school.

Wondering what adult beverage would be most appropriate for celebrating tonight? Maybe a margarita made with ORANGE CRUSH instead of limeade.
