"We" means it was done by more than one person, or done by an individual in consultation with others. Most Mudcat editorial decisions fall into this category.

Can I request that to avoid confusion - that any future editorial insertions (in what ever colour chosen) are confined to the above....[I was going to say 'brown editorial insertions' - but that       sounded more than a little crude and perhaps just like another way of saying 'bullshit'?]

If this convention is always followed - that will leave our volunteers free to use 'I' or indeed 'we or 'us' in conventional postings that do bring the thread back to the top. This convention will then always make it clear, when opinions expressed by our volunteers, are their own personal ones and which (after proper consultation) will always have full editorial weight behind them.
