Yes, you are right. We've explored this in depth several times, and there
really are people on the list whose software can't do these things,
including some of the real top-notch experts on this list.

For now, I echo Carl's plea. If your question is important enough for
people on the list to spend significant time thinking about it, it's worth
taking the time to type in the text in a readable format. Incidentally, if
you want to make sure your question gets responded to, make your post
brief, show the text in readable Greek, and ask specific questions about
the Greek in your quote. The time you take to type in the Greek and think
about the specific questions that arise in the Greek is part of the
learning experience for the person asking the question, and it also makes
it easier on those who read and respond.
