Indeed a commendable attitude. But may I also observe that people who spend
hours diligently typing up these texts do not seem to realize that their
kind offerings are actually a mixed blessing at times -- though their
devotion will undoubtedly secure them much merit. In the case of the Suzuki
translation of the LAS, it is unversally recognized among scholars that this
translation, important pioneering work though it was, is now quite
inadequate, distorted and misleading -- indeed, rather than a revision, a
completely new translation of the LAV is extremely desirable. If possible,
would it not perhaps be a good idea to liaise with relevent scholars
concerning the desirability of perpetuating such seriously out-of-date works
as these.

Best wishes,
