I used the one in the e-mail, although I was mightily impressed by your technical prowess (hey baby, you wanna see what I can do with a word processor). I don't think you were merciless. I've had the same reaction when I've had searose beta. The huh, those changes make sense and reign in my overly enthusiastic prose, reaction.
Professionally, I have to take edits from people who can't find their ass with both hands, let alone distinguish a comma from a semi-colon (not my editor who is wonderful, but my sources who get a chance to review my material before it's printed), so having competent, talented writers hack and whack at my stuff is more pleasure than pain, even when I don't wanna say goodbye to the babies.
