Windlord:&quot;I've just posted a bracketed version (which has yet to be
read by anyone). I don't think that one's bad. A note at the top of
the post will be enough. Not too commplicated either.

Ilindil: Sorry if I wasn't explicit enough in referring to your new version ,but my comments re: saulotus and 77 in the email of my preliminary draft I sent out a couple of days back , were addressing your revision.
I am not sure if you got it.

The problem I now see w/ brachets is that they won't cover using alternate versions from the same volume. I should have seen this problem before but I didn't.
So in your section G. and in my prelim. draft there is no problem , but as soon as I add a line or word from Annals of Aman [also in X] ineed a whole new et of brackets [this goes for IV and V as well].

Also , so far what the initial 4[ now 3] of us decided was that there would be no creative writing,filling in the gaps or other emendation to the texts, we would use JRRT's words only. a handicap I know but one that keeps the potential for confusion {are we rewriting [no] or editing [yes] the SIlmarillion} at bay.

Durelen: I don't see the need [ or wish fo the near nightmare] of HoME style notation,[ie ultra- elaborate] but I do think we need a simple way of documenting where each part of our sections comes from so that we [and any others ] can get an idea w/ out laborious detective work.

It sounds as if Mithadan will be returning idea's this w/end so hopefully we can reestablish consensus on this matter.
