To my pleasant surprise, last week’s piece on what editors do drew a stream of positive responses — I never imagined that so many readers would find the thankless and dimly illuminated job of editing so fascinating — but my biggest surprise after the column came out was to realize that I’d already written not just one but two columns on editing, back in 2010.
