Dennis,
I just read your post. I was one who had suggested Jim Found's book to
you and I think that at the time I told you I had used it to teach
an evening class in *basic* greek at church. I'm glad you found it and
like it. Good luck, and your suggestions to b-greek are certainly
appropriate for the mail list.
