In total, I have (proof)read four or five times seven pages. This gives a strange impression of reading a book trough the leaves of a palm tree. I'll be noticed by email when the book goes online. Indeed, I will have to determine whether the man was exactly the icon of hypersensitive obsessive romantic that I think he is. Now I have started Beaumarchais' memoirs.

Just what I need, another computer project to engage in. Sounds like a lot of fun, and I believe I shall be checking this out. So how are you enjoying Berlioz, anyway? One of my favorite autobiographies was his memoirs. Now THAT was an obsessive man. My favorite music, too. Oh, you bad person. Just what I need, another computer project to engage in.

The nice thing about them is that are not tricky -- they are generally stupidly obvious. A human would mispell. A computer misspeTls. I am sure you can spot scan typos.

If only I had the soul of an editor, I would join in immediately. However, I am pretty much in constant, desperate search of an editor myself, and am the last person I would trust!
