Let me rephrase. I'd *want* approval, out of respect for Dr. Okrand, and for the folks who make the TV show that I grew up on. I recall contacting Dr. Okrand out of the blue when I was a goofy college student in a linguistics class (roughly 15 years ago), and he was very gracious to answer questions from me the stranger. I'd like to return the graciousness, if ever I were to publish anything in Klingon. (Which I have no intention of doing.) The publishers of Klingon Hamlet: what was their solution? Some bug in my brain tells me that although Dr. Okrand isn't personally involved, his blessing was required before the publication could go forward. :Chris _________________________________________________________________ Windows LiveTM: Keep your life in sync. http://windowslive.com/explore?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_t1_allup_explore_012009
