}1. Do you currently use the LXX? Approximately how many times per year?
Yes.  I read it two or three times per week.
}
}2. If you do not currently use the LXX, would you be more likely to, if
}there were appropriate tools available, such as I am outlining below?
I use beside the printed text the tools available from Gramcord, Accordance 2.0 
 It is the best software and tool for Bible research I have ever used and 
tested.  I have almost everything in the market, and this one is the best in my 
opinion.
}
}3. Would you use a book similar to Metzger's which:
}
}         assumed knowledge of words which occur 50 times or more in the         NT [and
}which can be found in Kubo's Reader's appendix] 
}
}        gave you a list of words which occur 50 times or more in the LXX        but
}occur less than 50 times in the NT  
}
}        gave you lists of words that occur 40, 30, 20 etc times, similar to     
}Metzger's?
}
}        included a brief guide to using the LXX as a tool for NT and OT     
}studies?
I have to see the book first to say if it is worth or not.  So far I have no 
need for something like that, but it may be that many other students need it.  
Sound a good idea.
}
}4. If there were a one volume Reader's Greek-English Lexicon to the LXX,
}which included the above in appendices and was styled on the Armstrong,
}Busby and Carr
}Hebrew-English Reader's Lexicon of the OT, would you be prepared to pay
}approximately $100 for it and use it?
No.  No because the money, but because I see no need for it when there are 
software with this kind of resources already and the prices are fair, and 
getting better.
}
} The ABC Hebrew lexicon was progressively published over 8 years, and then
}came out in a 1 volume format. If an LXX lex ...(hey, I like that! LXX
}lex!) is produced, it will be a similar lengthy exercise, as a labour of
}love, as any publishing company which took it on would not make any money
}out of it!
}
}Thank you for your time in reading this.
