Please do, either translated or in the original German.  

Knowing that the UBS edition claimed its variants were considered to be
those "of significance to translators", I would be especially interested
if Prof.Aland had other reasons to mention in addition, since some of the
criticisms of the UBS edition were in regard to the "insignificant" 
nature of some of the variants selected while other more significant
readings were totally omitted.  

I also would be interested in any comments he may have offered regarding
the selection of variants included in N26/27, though I suspect there only
a broad compendium was in view (the Munster people can help out on that
one).
