>>p.p.s. do you ever receive carbon-copies of mails?
Probably not, but they LOOK like carbon copies because they mostly say essentially the SAME thing, over and over. Still, every one counts and really lifts my spirits. One major problem I am having is that I get many volunteers to translate my book, but then, when they start, they find that they can't -- the subject matter is too broad and complicated. For example, many statements have numerous qualifications and purposely imprecise descriptions in order to avoid fragrant errors.
And hello! Mark! Many of the posts I see here are top notch.
