Well, duh ...

The ACES conference can be filled with a lot of "why didn't I think of that before moments." That's not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes it just takes discussing your issues with a new crowd.
I had that realization again this morning when I was sitting in Charles Delafuente's useful "Copy Editors: A Front Line Against Libel" session. He asked how many copy desks bring in the paper’s libel lawyer once a year just to discuss the law as it relates to editing. Of course ...
I had a similar "duh" moment yesterday and, with luck, I'll have a few more before Saturday night.
