From the Editor Ten Years of Comments

Brace yourselves for a shock: I have now been the editor of this magazine for a solid decade. It was 10 years ago this month that I edited my first issue.

This job was a little intimidating at first, I'll admit. (I didn't even know what an in-plant was.) My early editor's columns were splattered with printing lingo, dropped in so I'd appear smart. At my first few conferences I was rather stiff and serious, trying to look "professional." (None of those tactics worked. But I do know what an in-plant is now!)
