Dear Rob-o,

Please understand that I am *not* one of the proponents of 'those who can do, those who can't teach', especially since I am a teacher of young children. That obnoxious phrase has always made the hair on the back of my neck rise. I agree whole-heartedly with you about the skills needed in writing, and that they aren't always found in the same person. You expressed it succintly and well. May I quote you?
