I hesitate to ask more from you when you give so much already, but IF you do have subtitles anyway, yes please go ahead and share them too. I address this to everyone. You may not realize this, but there are many other FLM members who also have English as a second language and likely would also benefit from matching subtitles for English-language movies. Good golly, (American) English is my ONLY language and I have difficulty with many British movies. (What the fook are they saying?!?!) There are also many hearing-impaired individuals, or friends of those individuals. I have seen posts on FLM saying precisely that. If subtitles are available, it greatly expands their potential enjoyment of film.

Some personal examples: When I translated and released the Pippi Långstrump (1969) [TV series], I also provided the Swedish subtitles I used as a source. I had no further use for them, but I had them, so why not? At least 3 people eMuled them directly from me. I do not know whether that was the 3 FLM admins archiving everything, a hearing-impaired Swede, someone who wanted to learn Swedish, or someone who wanted to translate the Swedish into another language. It does not matter. I have not released many English-language movies, but when I do I include subtitles if I can find them with VLC, opensubtitles, or if they are ripped from a stream by TVDownloader. I don't drive myself crazy if I can not find them.

Now I am not saying that I think anyone should be GUILTED into spending time looking for subtitles when they personally do not want them. I see this as a forum where people quite generously share what they have - for which I for one am incredibly grateful - and no one should be criticized for not sharing what they do not have. But if you have the subtitles already anyway? Go ahead, copy and paste another eMule link! Subtitles take virtually no storage space and no bandwidth. Downloaders may remain silent and anonymous, but I am sure they will appreciate it. Thank you.
