But, here goes: I'd like to think I, too, am a decent writer, and I'm also a recreational asshole, which makes me a perfect candidate for being an editor. (Okay, that came out with self-deprecation instead of arrogance. Hmm.)
Either way, if you'd like some editing or help polishing a review, I'd like to think I could help you out. If you'd like to see the level of polish I put on my own stuff, check out some posts at my blog.
