My mistake - I apologize. The scope of B-Greek is much narrower than the
scope of B-Hebrew, and I participate much more in B-Greek than in B-Hebrew,
so I simply got mixed up. The B-Hebrew web page says:

"B-Hebrew is an e-mail conference of academic professionals, teachers,
students, clergy and laity, people of any faith, devoted to a better
understanding of the Hebrew Bible. As such we often discuss a variety of
topics related to the Biblical languages, the history of the text and its
study, the culture of the Ancient Near East, the literary analysis of the
Hebrew Bible, and more."

That's much broader than the B-Greek charter.

Given the scope defined by the charter, Rolf's message was quite
appropriate. So again, I apologize.
