[B-Greek] Searching Archives

That's a good suggestion, but if I would like to see if there are comments
about other parts of a verse that I may not think of inquiring about then
I'll probably miss them.  Is it possible to take all the data and put it
into an database that can be more easily searched?  Has anyone out there had
luck with that?

You'll do far better at the OLDER archives:

http://www.ibiblio.org/bgreek/archives/index.html

After searching my own archives and finding only one thread (April 6-11,
2000) with subject-header, Rom 1:1 KLHTOS APOSTOLOS, I checked first the new
archives (and found nothing relevant at all), but then the old archives;
there I found that thread on KLHTOS APOSTOLOS along with several others. In
general, I think one does far better searching by key Greek words (spelled
out in the conventional BG transliteration scheme, of
course) in the passage you're looking for. I must say, however, that the
search engine in the Eudora program has been the surest way for me to find
stuff in (my own) BG (Eudora-mailbox-formatted) archives.
