As a scientist I'm very much dedicated to the GIGO (Garbage In,
Out) principle in any form of analysis.
If you use the GI (i.e. the assumption that it was one and the same program that "failed") in your analysis, my "Pavlov reflex" made me classify the outcome as 100% GO.
To one of my students from yesteryears I would have said "do again, do right".
I'm just a human being, performing a job without pay (and very
little appreciation) for soon to be 20 years. If you want a perfect
editor on the job, you probably have to pay up big time. In the
meantime you'll have to accept a total catastrophe like the one with a
few miscoded apostrophises.

Of course I should have. But when it comes to contributions
from some of the major ones, I tend to just take a short glance
at it. It usually is perfectly done so I trust it to be perfect
as usual.
Just as I missed your automated contribution, in the midst of
one new every week, not so long ago, where in an ideal world, I
should have noticed the longer than 70 chars/line error.

But are you really "editing" anything?

Seems like long line(s) would have been quite obvious.

It does not! That's simply not true.
Every submitted article is included as the original file in the
INPU*.* files found on the fidonews.eu as well as the eljaco.se sites.
No matter if it violated the archaic MAKENEWS rules or not.
Those file has also, since about 15 years ago, been distributed in
the file echo SNOOZE for the benefit of originally the producer of the fidonews.org echo, but also in order to facilitate other projects like that.
Alas, this is what I got for trying to assist in making the
Fidonews available in various different forms...
