     I have now learned that Linux.com is willing to edit without notifying
     the author. There are a couple of edits which unintentionally, I assume,
     affect the meaning of what "I" wrote. 
     
     But, even with these edits, I think it's a fairly decent 2-cent review
     of PSPP. I don't think this software has gotten a lot of attention in
     the Linux press, but with the addition of psppire to the mix, I think
     this program has the potential to attract more users and I hope that
     came through in the article, even though they removed the sentence where
     I said it directly.


It reads well.  Well done.  One of the facts of life when writing
journal articles, especially for popular magazines is that the editor
always reserves the right to do what (s)he likes with your work.
