Wieland,

I was just looking through what you have assembled and as this is my first 
time seeing it, I am very impressed.  I will definitely make use of this in 
the future!

I did want to ask one thing on it.  I was looking through what you have put 
together on the Gospel of John.  I noted that you referenced Metzger on John 
1:3-4 for the use of hO GEGONEN.  He referenced an issue with the perfect 
verb being used with the imperfect.

I had a thought on this and so I thought I might request some feedback from 
you or any others.  It strikes me that this issue might be resolved when we 
consider that, as Wallace notes, the perfect sometimes functions as an 
aorist.  The sense of the perfect is then to intensify the thought, making 
it more vivid. If this were the sense of GEGONEN, would it not solve the 
issue that Metzger raises?

Thanks,
Mondo Pascal
