Well, isn't that special; I give up translating the series for fans
for the last 18 months because THEY contacted ME in 12/97
(two different import companies, including Tokuma, no less)
about working on the series AND the novels legitimately (I
sent them samples of both the fansub scripts and the books
I spent over a decade working on), and they give the work to
somebody else, while refusing to give me any updates. How
very professional.
I want to know WHERE and from WHOM you found this out.

His name wouldn't be Steve Alpert, would it? Or Buz Alexander?

I can't attend, but my friends will, and we WILL get to the
bottom of this. If any of MY translations are being used,
without my permission, payment, or hell, even any NOTICE,
the series will NOT be released if my lawyer has anything
to say about it.
