RE: Why you shouldn't re-read already submitted stuff

["Lauren" <lt34 -at- csus -dot- edu>]

Que?

Original text: "...the contracts that we have obtained in the past ... show
clearly
that we 1) have the experience ... and b) that we can handle ...."

1.  "...the contracts that we have obtained in the past ... show clearly
that we 1) have the experience ... and b) that we can handle .... <and iii)
we are great proofreaders.>"

2. "...the contracts that we have obtained in the past ... show clearly
that we 1) have the experience ... and b) that we can handle .... <and we
are great iii) proofreaders.>

How convoluted can this get?

We [...] have the experience...
We [...] that we can handle...
We [...] we are great proofreaders...
We [...] proofreaders...

Oh sigh. 1, b, iii, ieieiei...

So Susan, was the proposal approved?
