RE: flashpoint of the week: editors and writers egos

This is the approach I would advocate -- with one additional step.  Try
to understand why they wanted to do it their way.  If you make an effort
to understand their reasoning, they may be more receptive to
understanding yours.

The 
third approach is Let's sit down and go through this together, with a 
style guide by our side, and I'll help you understand why I'm making the

editorial suggestions I'm making. This is the most time-consuming 
approach, but you gotta do what you gotta do, and this may be the only 
one that works for you.
