Gollie gee...

I kind of like the NET Bible. It has gobs of information
in the footnotes. Not bad for a translation.

I did suggest to Dr. Wallace et al that they avoid the problem
of the N in NET. I got a lengthy response, but
was unable to follow their reasoning.

Doeseth anyone owneth a KJV Bibleth? In 1611 it was "new." Of course, now
you can buy a New KJV.

For the life of me I can not figure out why the NET Bible Committee has
chosen to create an on-going problem.

The solution is rather simple. Here is the title I suggested:

The "2000 NET Bible" (for the printed editions)

Six years from now, release the "2006 NET Bible" (for the printed editions)
and so no. At least this way the N makes some sense.

For the internet site, which is frequently updated, why not call it the
"On-going NET Bible" or "Current NET Bible."

Come to think of it, my NKJV is getting kind of "old." :o P

In fact, is my NIV still new? (I could probably check the small print on the
inside cover to see if it is.) Some of you probably have an old NIV and
others may have a newer NIV.

My thoughts,

Mark Wilson
