I wonder if I might step sideways, and suggest that there be two sets of guidelines: one for those people who object to changes to the original, and one for those who don't. As part of this division it would be allowable to have two versions of the same book in the MR library: one identified as 'no or minimal changes', and one identified as 'changes made' - or similar nomenclature in both cases.

Please note that this is a very preliminary suggestion. A lot of work would need to be done to to define/describe/identify what is meant by 'no or minimal changes' or 'changes made,' and what changes are acceptable, and so on.

And I would very much like any discussion to be based on a consensus - even perhaps on repeated polls. I agree with Harry; I certainly would not accept demands or rules or bowing to authority, though I would do my best to abide by a consensus.

In case it needs to be written: nothing this post (or in any of my past posts) is intended to cast aspersions on anyone, and I do not claim any authority.
