Partner is a great choice of word in this context Jay. I note for the reader that Jay is a very free spirited and free thinking writer for IIP pubs, and a person with whom I often have very spirited debates. My point is IIP is a partnership among many editors and between many editors and writers who work towards the goals of giving diverse writers from all walks and abilities a safe space to present their messages for the benefit of the writer and the reader. Zero benefit to IIP or DMY except pride in helping someone else achieve their goals and the pleasure of seeing someone else succeed. Yiddish has a great word for this--Nachas. https://thetempest.co/2016/08/25/culture-taste/culture/10-yiddish-words-you-wont-want-to-live-without/
