Yorick, I'm editing articles for a local Newsletter on a regular basis (for free, sigh!) and am currently also editing an Annual Report for them (also for free, sigh!). Most of the Newsletter stuff is interesting (I do interviews and articles for it as well) but the Annual Report stuff is deadly boring! And, boy, some people who should know better have NO IDEA how to write with clarity!
Don' wanna do it! Don' wanna do it!

I know the feeling - i did not edit, but translated a text from a colleague of my mother (luckily NOT for free). It was AWFUL: two colons in the same sentence? Seven commas in one sentence? In the end I did not only translate, but also edit the text (it was on behavioural biology or however you translate that)
So - my sympathies (for FREE - that must be hard)
