This is a curious proposition; one cannot normally get onto the Graphai
list without being a member of SBL, i.e. a practically professional NT
scholar for whom there's hardly even a question whether German is
important--I say that as one who has not thus far been able to get onto the
Graphai list: something about having to be qualified.

No, I really think this IS the right place for the topic, and it doesn't
hurt to hear (read) the voices (messages) of those who on the insular
rather than the continental side of the channel.
