[b-hebrew] Lost in the Jim and Karl wars

I'm getting tired of this list degenerating into the "Jim and Karl wars," such that simple, humble posts for information (like the one I posted a few days ago) get lost in the process.  And mine aren't the only ones.

Mr. Moderator, you are failing in your duty, and are presiding over the demise of what used to be a valuable resource.  I appeal to you to do your job and not to take refuge in an abstract (but in practice quite destructive) theory of the free interchange of ideas.  That is not what is happening here.

Jim, shame on you for bullying this list into submission by dominating it.  Karl, in the end your replies to Jim are simply fanning the flames.  This situation must stop.  Am I alone in this view?  If so, I will simply remove myself from the list.

Note that this situation never occurs on the B-Greek list.  Carl Conrad simply won't allow it to happen.
