Thank you. And you’re right, I am amazing ;)

But seriously the main reason I write these comments is to work through my thoughts as I try to articulate them and get feedback on what I’m thinking.

I’m actually happy when someone points out a mistake because I learned something.

When I’m right, I haven’t gained anything. Sure, my ego enjoys the satisfaction of being right but my already inflated ego doesn’t need anymore stroking.

Heh sounds like what Socrates said - it’s better to be corrected than to be correct.

It's even better to be correct after being corrected by yourself.

My biggest issue is when I hit send on something when what it really needed was another editorial revision.

I almost instantly hit the edit button after I post a comment.
