Hi All
I think it's time to call last last orders on the requests for Latin translations.

It all started with someone looking for Latin resources on the Web. That was a perfectly legitimate question. But the Free Pint Bar is not a translation service and that's how some people seem to be using it.

Most of the requests are coming from Google, so I'm sure we'll get many more postings. However, Free Pint Bar moderators will be removing them as they occur.

Sadly, Latin is now a dead topic in the Free Pint Bar. Dare I say Requiescat in Pace?
Regards
Simon
