I was kind of disappointed, however, in that for the most part translation at hombu and Ayase is now almost always done by the same person. I enjoyed his translations as well, but always feel safer getting my information from mulitple sources! There were some other folks present besides yourself who trained but never spoke (translated) a word, even though I had very much enjoyed their translating efforts in the past. Do translators 'burn out' from time to time, or is this a cyclical thing that you translators work out amongst yourselves? How do the pressures of translating affect you? I'd love to hear anything you have to say on this topic. Great work in any case, and thank for sharing your translation of the 'gojo' concept. Much to ponder!
