i too have learned a great deal from our recent discussions:

1- in spite of our best efforts most folk who consider themeselves occupied
with scholarly concerns are as locked into preconceptions and a priori
assumptions as billy bob in the movie *deliverance*.

2- logic and rational argument play virtually no part in investigations of
textual meaning.

3- texts are eisegeted much more than they are exegeted.
