Editorial Policy was to be changed 12/2003
I've asked Friend Lenore many times to respond to me why the Spark Editorial Policy has not been changed when she, as the Clerk of the NYYM COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE, said it would here:

Dear Glenn,
The committee did not meet until last Wednesday because of the cancellation of Representative Meeting. We discussed your concerns and agree that a policy is needed and should be published. We have created a statement that says that letters and other submissions may be edited for clarity, grammar, style, and length but that the author will be apprised of changes and will be able to decide whether he or she still wishes the piece printed in edited form. Because we are usually under time and space constraints there can't be prolonged dialogue with the author.
The committee felt that it is too late to do anything about your article..(omitted text related to my personal case with Communications Committee).... I hope the spelling out of the editorial policy will keep problems from occurring in the future.
In hopes of peace and a happier new year, best wishes, Lee Ridgway
