    Make that SOME of the "KJV-ONLY" folks.  I know that both the people at
the Trinitarian Bible Society (UK) and Dr. D.A. Waite, absolutely dote over
ben Chayyim's 2nd Rabbinic Bible as opposed to the perfidious and heretical
"ben Asher" text used in BHK^3 and BHS.  I think I remember readin
something in one's of Ruckman's outpourings of effluvium that the Old Latin
preserved a superior text to the "so-called" Septuagint, but like the rest
of his "literary" output it turned out to be just more of his trademark
ranting and raving.
