So why can't I ask Google to annotate a page for me? They haven't forced it on me, so it's still my choice. --\r\nYou cooin' with my bird? \r\n[link\|http://www.shtuff.us/\|shtuff] Edited by ubernostrum May 15, 2005, 04:31:33 AM EDT No. If I want to ask my friend who's a Tolkien scholar (I have a friend who's a Tolkien scholar, actually), to annotate in the margins of my copy of LOTR, that's perfectly OK.

Also, there's a huge difference between taking your copy (which you've already had a chance to see unaltered) and asking someone to annotate, and having it done for you before you've had a chance to see the unaltered content as the author intended. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------
