I understood this to mean that we post to the list and carbon copy it to you. Is that correct? It's probably confusing to have two chiefs, here, so I want to make sure that my understanding of what we do coheres with yours. I assumed from your comment below that you didn't want us to merely to mail you our translations privately with commentary. At any rate, I've already posted to the list and cc'ed to you. Was that how you wanted it? That way, we all get to see what we've done without having to wait for you to perform the arduous task (with kids and job) of compiling it for the list. You plan to compile it eventually for your webpage, which is why you want us to carbon copy our posts to you, which makes sense. Am I correct? I only ask because Andrew had seconded somebody's suggestion that you collate and post the whole thing. Which I take it you don't want to do.
