(Want any more excuses? I got at least four more back here! :) ) Anyway, it's uploading right now. More to come soon! Roger The perversity of technology! :evil: After all that, I am sorry to have to point out that at 23:33 of this section, there is a short spurt where two voices are talking. I know...

Sorry for the extreme radio silence. I had to record the second part of Chapter Three twice -- either the file corrupted or Audacity doesn't like reloading a long section into memory. And my internet connection's been intermittent in my new house until yesterday. (Want any more excuses? I got at lea...

Hi Scott, The move is going. It's not done yet, and I may lose my internet connection next week, but I will keep my hand in as much as possible. On the footnotes, I completely agree with Rowen.

Roger

Thanks,

Roger

Scott,

I'll take it. Section 6 is lonely no more.

Roger

Chris, I can't speak for what Scott wants, but I will tell you what I did on part one. I always read what was in the parentheses. When it made sense, I treated what was in the parens like a parenthetical statement enclosed in commas: "be free from the bonds of Mara (the tempter)." became: ...

Scott,

Part 1 is uploading even as I speak. Let me know how it sounds.

Thanks,

Roger

@Robert Scott

I could coordinate the Beagle reading, though I have no idea what's involved. Can you tell me more?


@not.a.moose

I know -- he was prolific! I like the idea of doing Voyage of the Beagle, because it was aimed at the general reader. It's also one of his earliest works.
