Please don't call me that; just "Carl" will do. "Dr. Phil" may like to  
be so-monickered, but I'd rather omit the title. Respectful discourse  
does not, in  my opinion require it (admittedly, some may feel  
differently about that), but I don't.

I would advise against it. On this too, I am sure some will feel very  
differently. If you must, then consult Wallace and use his index of  
scripture to find his treatment of the verse in question, but you'd do  
better to study the general account of major usages and think through  
each instance as you come to it. For my part, I don't think you learn  
much from being told quite simply that you're right or wrong. You need  
to know WHY someone thinks your answer is right or wrong.
