Camphor Fumes and MMD Editing
By Hauke Marxsen

Hello Craig,  I had the problem that cedar fumes caused oil to solidify.
That is called "camphoration" in some old books, you wrote.  Yes, I want
to use the cedar box, and I want to say "Thank You" for your detailed
advice in the MMD 981212.

Internet and the MMD is great.  Without it, I would spend much much
more time to get replies for questions.  That's also a good occasion
to say "Thank You" to Robbie Rhodes and Jody Kravitz for their service
in overworking my articles written in poor English.  Maybe not many of
the readers know about the time the editors (Robbie and Jody) spend,
to make e-mails readable.

Regards
Hauke Marxsen

 [ Thank you, Hauke.  I try to make the letters in MMD better understood
 [ by foreign readers like you.  That's why I often add additional punc-
 [ tuation marks (such as commas and long dashes), and sometimes move
 [ around the phrases and clauses within the sentence.  But I try to not
 [ change the 'character' of the writing, so that someday, when you are
 [ introduced to a familiar MMD author, you will hear him talk just like
 [ he writes in MMD!  -- Robbie
