Essentially, this is the point of EVA - because (for the most part) you can 
convert EVA into more or less any transcription you like, you can retain 
your own private transcription (Evita in your case) while still being able 
(a) to benefit from the massive amount of transcription work that's already 
been done, and (b) to converse sensibly with other people on the list. :-)

Cheers, ....Nick Pelling....
