But my website reviews, not so much?

We could work something out. Say $75/hour. I'll guarantee accuracy
(but I'll need access to your library, of course).

Slip? What slip? He based Authorial Voice on some contraption. But
enough about Roger. Is Touchstone the Authorial Voice? Does the
Author tell us he marries the country girl? Or did I misread the play
and the authorial satirist tells us he marries three ladies in waiting
but dies honeyless?

Just saying young children may read the Shakespeare Fellowship site
and then think Sir Oliver married Will to Audrey! That would wreck
their understanding of Touchstone, too! Why must these children flunk
Eng. Lit. just because propaganda outweighs truth on your website?

I think correcting the site benefits everyone.

(Aside) But least of all me.
I like Oxfordian websites that clank.

The fellowship is the true beneficiary, though, that's no secret. You
and Roger get ground you can stand on! And the children, think of the
children!

Is that an order?

I'm with you there, sister.
You don't change a website just because somebody rants, you change a
website because it is LACED WITH FALSEHOOD designed to malign an
author.

No?

Give me the damned passwords, I'll do it myself.

Sounds like an Oxfordian bumper sticker.

I was told by the lawyer that it's much
better to make changes than wishes. =A0
I've tried to follow that advice since, and ...

Oh, and Lynne, while I still have you...
since I helped write the thing I'll be sharing the byline with Roger,
my co-author this time. Give him top billing for all the early drafts.

definitely under consideration:
