I do understand your decision but am curious as to how a number proceeded by the (#) sign is supposed to be translated. I like to do my best to give readers the 'correct transcription' even at the risk of increasing the number of signs in a document. Not sure this is right but just my bent. Perhaps this old dog will learn some new tricks eventually. Merci!
