I appreciate the feedback.

I actually submitted it to the Op-Ed feedback people, who claim that the
typical article is 650-750 words. Mine was about 900, IIRC, so I was
hoping
it might still make it...

Of course, if I actually thought it would have gotten published, I would
have waited until then to post it here.

350 words max it save masses of time as they dont have to edit it and ruin
the points you are making.

It is better to be brutal with your own work and any point you think is
weak, take out. Carry on doing this till you have a very pithy and easy to
read piece. Too many stats will have most readers turning to the next
article by the third statistic.
