Sorry guys, that I didn't catch this in PR>
One small, 4-line list had an entry:
the hidden hidden (a concept known as Anagoge), inaccessible to ALL but a few really enlightened.
What I believe was meant is:
the hidden hidden (a concept known as Anagoge), inaccessible to NONE but a few really enlightened
(emphasis is mine)

Now that I stare at it and your "correction"...

I'll just blame it on the subed!

Except I think it was right the first time: inaccessible to *everyone* except a select few. If it had said 'NONE', then it would be inaccessible only to a select few.
I think. Maybe.

Yeah, I feel for you.
And I think you are in another room...
Writing is like playing jazz to me...
if it feels good at the time, I try not to analyze it too much.
On the other hand, if I knew more about the language, instead of channeling William F. Buckley all the time, I might understand what I was writing more of the time...

I've always admired your writing style - it's very inventive and, well, jazzy. I like the image of a guitar solo. 
I write poetry, and most of the successful poems are like that. The words feel right at the time. It's only afterwards that I figure out what I was talking about...
(or is it too early in the morning for beer? nah...)

Nah, we're off onto literary style and technique now. 
I must admit that your comment scared me, though. As a sub-ed, I always worry that I'll let some howler slip through (or introduce one of my own ). 'Course our fine Editors should catch it, but we can all miss things...
