OFF-LIST: Jim, I mean no offense, and I certainly don't find anything
disrespectful in your response, but I'd like to make a suggestion; I see
these brief one-word responses from you not too infrequently, although
there are times often enough when you give a fuller response and explain
your choice of a response or offer your analysis. I think the most useful
function of B-Greek for many of our subscribers is strengthening their grip
upon NT Greek grammatical usage and idiom; I think most might find such a
response more useful if it argued and explained your answer--and your real
contribution to the list would be enhanced.

Regards, c
