Hi Ainaechoiriel,

thank you so much for your tremendous work !

I saw that the comments are rendered continuously
without line feeds. That was naturally OK for counting.
Yet, this poses a problem for some of my comments
where I used the much lamented quotations.
Partially I did not encase them in apostrophes
but separated them from normal text only by line feeds,
thus now there is nearly no indication
that there is a quotation given and not a comment.
Sorry to the authors about that.

In "Breathe" I noticed that my comment stops
after Minor, I send the complete comment.

LG3: Breathe by Fileg
Finely crafted series of pieces connected by the Anduin. Boromir learns to
swim (breathe before you dive) and uses his skills after the fall of the
Osgiliath bridge. The brothers help each other. Faramir sees his dead
brother in the Elven boat and has to get without support out of the water.
Faramir sends his experiences as drawings and words in a little paper boat
down the river accounting to his brother all what has changed. Minor
quibble: IMO paper boats are modern inventions. Evocative and beautiful
worded.

Many thanks for all the time
you invest into this project

Larian and I collected comments into an excel spreadsheet. Which meant they
had to all be in one cell. Line breaks would put the different paragraphs in
different cells. I came up with a solution (editing them so that paragraph
breaks had a BR tag) but Larian didn't do that.

If you want to do that for your comments, do so and I'll update them. But
really, this is just too much work for me to go through and do this for you.
I have already quite a lot to do.

The tag, in case you don't know html is <BR>. If you think it needs a blank
line between the two paragraphs, use <P>. But make sure you send them to me
in a text file attachment so that e-mail doesn't try to render the HTML.

Thanks.
