A couple of point here.
Firstly, this message actually arrived at the list Thu, 28 Jul 2005
02:18:44 -0400, i.e. nearly 24 hours after it was apparently sent (as
dated above, UK time). During those 24 hours a large number of messages
were sent on this thread and others. And when it did arrive, it
disappeared (at least on my screen) above those which had been sent
after it but received before it, and so I read it only when I discovered
an anomalous hidden unread message. So, George, please don't blame
anyone for not following instructions which they had not received.
Secondly, while I quite agree that some of the sub-threads concerning
YHWH and its pronunciation have "gone beyond the bounds of decorum",
other parts have continued in a proper or scholarly manner. I assume
that your note was intended to refer only to the sub-thread of the
disagreement between Shoshanna and Jim, to which others have
contributed. If you intend to put a halt to all discussion of the
pronunciation of YHWH, you need to make this more clear.
