Re: [proofread] [needs translation] May newsletter

Thank you.  It is always pleasant to have one's questions answered.

I try to deal with html, but (to use an English colloquilism) html is
not my thing.

However, I do notice a typographical error that I did not pick up last week,
and which has therefore persisted.  The Quote of the Month ends with a
quotation mark but does not stop with one.  I am sorry that I did not notice
this last week.

Adding "Moreover" is a big improvement, just what I thought was needed.
Thank you.

But here I see another typographical error, which I did not point out last
week.  The last sentence in this section, "Watch the recording of the first
event in this series, which took place on 3 April," lacks its final period
(full stop).  I corrected this in the html version I sent, but I did not point
out this correction, so it is only natural that my correction did not make
its way into the published version.  Again my apologies.

Clearly, I should have proofread a second time the newsletter draft that
 I dealt with somewhat hurriedly last week.
