While personal confession is always good for the soul, it is beside the point
on B-Greek and not very helpful in the archives. Since this discussion has
now turned to statements about the larger subject of interpretation and
translation, I am asking that unless you have something different to say about this
text or some relevant texts that we go no further in this direction. Please
resist the temptation to get in the last word and lets all return to discussions
of Greek texts within the B-Greek guidelines.
