seriously ? Oh maybe I was confusing them with the translations of the Greek parts in mostly RB's letters...I think we left them out. But that's not the same as a footnote.

For the moment I'll keep them in, you can tell me whether it's jarring or helpful when you listen to the section. It's easier cut than re-recorded.

I had no memory of this. I went back to volume 1 to look it up and indeed there were footnotes! Now I don't trust my memory to say whether we included any of the footnotes or not!

Section 1: There's some kind of a hissing noise through the first 50 seconds or so.
4:22 text "It is all detestable", recording "It is detestable"
5:43 text "so don't mention", recording (I think) "but don't mention"

Section 10:
0:44 text "felt no love longer", recording "felt love no longer"
2:10-3:10 there's a hissing noise, a lot, lot fainter than that in section 1, so not obtrusive, but I'm mentioning it in case you can identify the cause and control in future

Sorry for delay on things. My time has been swallowed by an unexpected job offer that I'm negotiating through. A few more days and I should be back to my normal flow of things.

The hissing is cicadas doing their thing. As we've slid into Autumn, they're not so prevalent, so should be okay for another 10 or so months.

§1: I've re-done the first section and fixed the other two.
§10: Only fixed the mis-wording at 00:44

I've also uploaded §§12, 13, & 15.

maybe Beeswaxcandle remembers an instance where he had one

if not, it doesn't really matter I think. We can take it or leave in this chapter. You can give me your opinion once you have listened to it.

Sections 18, 20, 22, 24, & 27 uploaded

I think the only footnote I've dealt with so far was the section that needed both of our voices.

that was a footnote too ? Ok, so we can leave them in, I guess. Thanks
