Some people just can't see the gold even if it's staring right in front of them!

Don't get too excited guys -- I can just feel there's going to be a 'slight' delay! Mark my words. I sincerely hope Joe can prove me wrong.

I promise there are errors in the 7th Edition revisions that he alone will not catch. There is at least one major change that demands changes in several areas for consistency of presentation. And there is text that unless rewritten does not say what Homer meant to say. Not to mention the errors in the 6th that the 7th revisions don't catch.

I applaud the promise of publication.

And will give the actual event a standing ovation.

But the job is bigger than one man.

Here's hoping he gets it right.
You need to publish an unofficial complement to the 7th Edition!
If you were to set up a "Review Board", who are some of the people you think should be in it?
