Meanest? You haven't seen Hugo in action!

Who is Hugo? (Maybe I was busy being mean and did not notice
him.)

Errr ... Hugo Kornelis ... you replied to him. :-)

You mean that he is not nice?

Huh? Perfectly nice ... except when reviewing/editing/proofing something

(although I am taking Erland's word for this).

Hugo is a very nice guy - except when he is tech-editing!

Good!

Anyone who lets typos go by is not being nice to the readers,
especially in technical material where an error can cause big trouble.

Go, not nice! Any of us not nice can use the coal. It will be
something to throw at the kids on my lawn.
select coal from shuttle order by ton;

I am also very nice when I am tech-editing.

Nice to the buyers and readers of the book, that is. And for authors
who care about the quality of their books (so far, all authors I
tech-edited for fall under this category).

Tech editors who let obvious errors slip - now those are the non-nice
persons!
