There is a growing trend for editors to add notes to stories. What is your opinion:

Notes in stories from Editors. Not Authors. EDITORS.

When an author makes an Author's Note in a story I see this as valid. Often they wish to explain something that cannot be explained in the text. There is a current trend for some editors to append notes. What do you think of that? Tick all that apply.

If the note adds value to the story I am happy
I think they are part of the tale
I hate them and want them gone
I have no idea what they are for. An editor is a silent partner, surely?
I like them
I laugh at them and like them
I laugh at them and despise them
I tune them out
Get rid of them
Why does the author allow them?
Why does the webmaster allow them?
They annoy me so much I give the story up
I think 'get a room already, and flirt in private'
They should have an editor to edit those out
