Dear fellow students of Tsolyani,
The dictionary file that was uploaded last night appears to be built from the
entire
Tsolyani-English dictionary from the Tsolyani Language pamphlets, plus much
added
work. It is clearly a Labor of Reverence. However, the file's creator,
Urhixidur, did not have
the Professor's permission to distribute the dictionary this way, and there are
print and pdf
versions of the original dictionary currently for sale (from Tita's House of
Games, and
rpgdrivethru.com, respectively). So in my capacity as a group moderator, I
temporarily
removed the file from the group archives. My earnest hope is that that Urhixidur
will
contact Professor Barker, and receive approval for its distribution. I will
restore it
immediately in that case.
I regret this intervention, I hate to disturb things when there has been new
activity on this
all-to-quiet list. Nonetheless, I know that Dr. Barker is rightfully very
careful of his
copyrights, and I didn't think he would be happy to have one of his works given
away for
free without his approval.
I am only one of several moderators on this group, and not the group owner. I
did this in
haste and without consultation, so I may have made a mistake. If I did I will
correct it as
quickly as possible.
with regret,
George
