brackets and abscences

I have been incommunicado myself for nearly a week w/ Ez board woes of the first magnitude . I set up a website for a few friends from High-School and created another identity . this somehow scrambled 'lindil' and attempts to post w/ a new name and email were fruitless. I will try and get my more or less final version of section 2 up tonight .

re: brackets I posted a couple of things in one of the more recent Silm threads [can't remember the thread name offhand but it is one of the ffew from w/in the last 2 weeks, so please check it
out as I have had to concede problems w/ them that I did not originally notice. thus i have been noting changes from one text to another in [parentheses].

It is getting late so if I am to get my text up tonight I better run. The only real change is using the Annals from X for the first 2 paragraphs instead instead of the X later Silm.

re: folks being absent and such. I think if we all just keep each other posted all will be fine. There clearly can be no rushing of this project and it will build steam and ebb and flow in it's own time.
A quick note that may help stream line the process [if you havn't already figured out a better way]

1] pick your base text [in this case X annals or XSilm last phase as they are thefinal versions JRRT wrote] then compare w/ each succeding version in reverse chronilogical order, V,IV, I and finish w/ 77 . Except for putting the bits from Lost Tales in first and not looking at the Xannals of Valinor , this was the form I followed and it went quickly when I would actually do it<img src=wink.gif ALT="">
