My response (and I'm happy to end this here):


1. (a) You make an assertion that I don't like the man.  This is untrue, 
and I think if you read my post you'd understand my surprise at you taking 
it this way.
(b) I spelled his name incorrectly and acknowledged the likelihood of this 
in my first post.  The fact that I've seen him on television a few times by 
no means would indicate that I'm an expert.

2. (a) You assert once again that this has nothing to do with b-greek.  It 
may be nothing to do with Biblical Greek, and I grant you that, but my post 
was intended to specifically reflect on the way people on this mailing list 
communicate with one another.
(b) You say I am propagating prejudices.  Against who?  The Irish?  I 
certainly didn't pick that up in Stephen's accent.
