Re: Principles of editing the Silmarillion

Re:slavish adherence to LotR canon errors - I comcede. I was not, as you all guessed, trying to support such.

If my reading of the posts since my last is correct [and it is 2 in the a.m. here...It seems we agree on pretty much all of the principles ... I was using rule for for Doriath out of context or seeing how far I could stretch the context. I agree let's cross the esgalduin when we get there. On an
un-related note perhaps after [God-willing] FoG we start at the begining?

I would like to try [again] to summarize the principles so we can all literally sign on to them [as literally as this ezboard formats allows] but I feel I need to address the following tasks first:
~repair the introduction [ redo the FAQ's]
~Establish the new private forum Ron has created for us [post the base texts first for FoG then others]
~Email the password out to members.

so if someone else can consolidate the principles, and we can fine tooth comb [hopefully ony] one more time I think we might be there.
