I have stumbled across Verbal Aspect Theory and the Prohibitions in the Greek New Testament today, I don't have time to read it, but skimming the Table of Contents suggests, unless I missed it, it has sections on all indicative verb forms except the perfect.
hmmmm....

Re: Please recommend a Reader's GNT
Thanks Stephen. I guess my point is that coming across variants from the more standard greek text's becomes a distraction from reading. Usually I begin thinking, "Wait, that doesn't sound right (in the greek), and then I discover its an NIV textual decision, and I am like, really? and I have to...

Re: The negation of perfect verb forms
This is a great question. I am doing a thesis on the perfect at the moment. I need to think about it a little.

Re: Please recommend a Reader's GNT
I started with the UBS reader, it was big, beautiful looking, and the entries at the bottom are aligned in columns so its super fast to find the word you are looking up. However it uses what some would say his "high quality" paper, which for me just means "extra thick", so althou...

Database of Categorisation of verbs according to (for example) Wallace?
Is there such a thing as a database that catalogues verbs across the New Testament. So you can ask things like 'How many many Perfects are "Aoristic Perfects"'
I know various features of verbs are debatable, but some form of database/catalogue might just be more useful than none at all

Re: Beginner grammar in Accordance vs. paper
Rodney Decker's Reading Koine Greek , as well as Mounce's works are available in Accordance. They cost quite a bit more there than in print, but I'm wondering if it is worth it.
