Dear subscribers,
lately we have seen an increase for requests to translate some
'French' phrases into English. Every request is followed by a half
a dozen translations, which show how helpful our subscribers are.
We also know by now who on our list is proficient in doing such
translations, and those e-mail addresses are so easy to find in our
archives.
So all I am asking for is that if you have a little translation problem,
why not write directly to one of our helpful translators and get it over
with. With that we avoid the endlesss duplications, and save time
when checking our incoming mail list e-mail, which some people say
is overwhelming at times.
In my humble opinion it is the quality of our postings which makes our
list so great, and not the quantity!
So have a heart, and bombard us with real good questions, and
not with translations.
Cheers,
John, listowner.
