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

Hi Shirley --

I'm using the "daily email" digest that Jonathan Robie set up; it works
GREAT.  Each day I get a list of all the new posts, summarized at the
top and then the text of each post below. It's quite similar to the old
"digest."  It appears I have to log into the forum to reply (just a
click away), but that's OK because I want to read the whole thread
before putting my 2 cents in anyway.

It's actually a much easier-to-use format than the old digest, actually.

I'm the ultimate "can't teach an old dog new tricks" person, believe me
-- but this is one change I'm actually growing to prefer over the old
method.  

I remember back when Microsoft introduced Windows. I was quite reluctant
to change from DOS:  Why would anyone want more than one "window" open,
I asked myself...  and the DOS commands are so precise and do exactly
what I want.... who needs a "mouse"!?! 

:-) :-) :-) 

Hope you'll come on over to the other side....  :-)
