With two issues "under our belts," so to speak, we want to thank all of you who have provided us with comments. One major concern we addressed last week was the design of our table of contents. I expect you will see future tweaks as we continue to help you zero in on the stories that interest you the most. One comment we have heard, admittedly tongue-in-cheek, has intrigued us a bit: too much content. Our goal at the outset has been to provide comprehensive news coverage, which is why many of our stories are longer. However, we also want readers to be able to take their time going through the issue every week. There's no need to rush! Just a couple of years ago, a close relative mentioned to me how disappointed she was at the pitifully thin issues of the Sunday newspaper I had grown up with in North Carolina — the one she had been reading ever since she married my cousin and moved to my hometown. We want you to take your time and enjoy perusing The Sarasota News Leader. It is a weekly publication, after all, meaning you have seven days to read everything. And even when the next issue appears, you can find the previous editions in our archives. Therefore, just take your time! One other point I want to mention this week is that the News Leader, like all reputable publications, wants to acknowledge any mistakes our staff makes. As much as we strive for perfection in our work, we acknowledge that is an extraordinarily high bar to reach. That leads me to tell you we goofed last week by failing to include two photo credits in Otus Rufous' column. Laura Dean, the marketing and public relations coor- dinator at Historic Spanish Point, had been incredibly helpful to Otus over the previous couple of weeks. Yet, we failed to give Dean and her staff credit for the two adorable photos of Lizzie in the Sept. 28 Ask Otus column. Thank you to everyone at Historic Spanish Point for your generous assistance to our resident wildlife expert. With warmest regards, Editor and Publisher
