This is not meant to seem sardonic, but what do you mean by "green-ink
brigade"?  I myself tend to write most drafts in green (with a fountain
pen, no less -- the tactile experience is important for me), and I'd not
heard it used in what sounds like a slightly derogatory way before.

Again, Scottie, I'm not ticked off or cranky or any of that; I'm curious
about the reference.  "Blue pencil" is something I'd associate with an
editor; "red pencil" with a teacher; "red/black ink" with financial
records.  But green ink?

Just curious....  Or haven't had enough coffee today, or sleep last
night.
