[B-Greek] Yes, DO continue!

As a lurker and a newbie, I submit my own observations on persisting with a
B-GREEK subscription, even though the messages are sometimes
incomprehensible:
Although my reading knowledge of NT Greek is insignificant right now, I feel
the need to immerse myself in a community of people discussing it, in order
to pick up information about source texts, translations, translation
problems, textual criticism, and other issues surrounding the Greek text. I
feel that this is a necessary prerequisite to self-teaching (although
frankly I've done the same sort of immersion approach for other subjects
even when I was taking a formal class). However, that choice might be due to
my personal attitude toward the text, which is colored by my background in
textual editing.
