Oh Harry! Do you just dislike cats in general? You know that was not my meaning. I find Alex's honesty refreshing and am glad that he has pointed out the change he made.
Also, I absolutely love your Dickens books, thanks for the uploads. But it wouldn't do any harm and may do a lot of good to issue guidelines requesting that the uploader mention any substantive changes to a book, such as modernisations. Do you remember the outcry when publishers began changing the text of Huckleberry Finn to get rid of the N word? Are PC or changes in meanings good enough reasons to alter the words in a book? A mild but firmly worded guideline would allow us, the downloaders, to know what kind of version we're getting and whether it's been bowdlerised.
