- This is evidently a new use of the word "translation", not to be found in
- the ordinary dictionaries.
-
- It should also be pointed out to Mr Taylor that people often put disclaimers
- at the end of their posts to make it clear that they are not speaking
- officially for the organisations for which they work. This is often not
- their own choice, but imposed on them from above. Hence it is not very fair
- to suggest that a disclaimer is evidence that its poster doesn't know what
- he's talking about.
