I guess I'm in the right profession...

My favourite Baltimore Sun Columnist,Gregory Kane, e-mailed me today. As is my custom, I read his column every week,and yesterday when I accessed it online, I noticed a date error. In a somewhat uncharacteristic move, I elected to point out the error via the Sun's commenting field.

Then, I forgot all about it.

This afternoon, the man himself wrote to me to say that I caught an error that he, a line editor, a copyeditor, and a slot editor had all missed. Then he asked, partially in jest, if I was looking for work as an editor. In his second message, he assured me that if he ever heard of an opening he would mention my name, because afterall, what could anyone say, that I wasn't qualified?
