I wanted to send a love letter to the Edit term module but found your contact information instead. Can you forward this to Edit term?
Dear Edit term,
You never let me down. True to your project page description, you make editing terms easy and effortless. I'm so happy with our relationship -- you don't even have any baggage by creating unecessary database tables. You are one of the most useful modules to grace my Drupal installations. Edit term, I love you!
