Some friends of the Concourse have suggested that many would-be writers feel intimidated by the high quality of our articles. I appreciate the implied compliment, but I beg our readers not to let this stop them from contributing their ideas to our pages! If your writing skills leave something to be desired, do not despair! Capable editors are standing by ready to help.
