Yes, this question is not only "OFF-TOPIC" but OUT OF ORDER for this
list. Michael, if you have not yet read the FAQ, please read
carefully through it at:
http://www.ibiblio.org/bgreek/faq.txt
"--questions about Greek textual variants bearing on the
interpretation of a
particular passage may be appropriate (but not general discussion of
textual criticism itself--for which there is a special list of its
own; if
you are interested, you can find more information at
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/textualcriticism/>
Therefore, as I wrote, when the same question came up only two days
ago here:
"This is really not the appropriate forum for discussion of these
issues, as is clearly stated in the BG-FAQ; I would urge any list-
member responding to point to the relevant helpful resources,
standard reference works, on-line discussion lists, on-line
discussions of TC -- and NOT attempt any personal response to the
question."
