[B-Greek] "both, and" rather than "either, or" ?

Shirley, discover Google Reader. I completely understand where you're coming
from--I really hated to see the list go myself--but now I'm getting in the
habit of scanning Google Reader every day to pick out posts I might want to
read not only at B-GREEK but at a dozen or so biblioblogger sites that I've
told Reader to track. For B-GREEK, Google Reader is not quite as handy for
me Gmail was, since gmail made it much easier to see at a glance who was
contributing to what threads. But for the blogs Google Reader works really
well, and for B-GREEK I'm finding it's OK, though I'd be much happier if the
one-line notice for each post included the name of the contributor along
with the subject--if anyone knows how to do that, tell me!

Email lists are going, going, . . .
