For my part I would like to see the list focus strictly on the Hebrew
language- not only of the Bible but the DSS and other such literature.
There are numerous lists which are set up for discussion of
literary-critical and historical critical matters; i.e., Miqra, and for
German, Mikra. TC issues can be addressed at the tc-list. In short- there
are a plethora of lists available. Focus, then, is desirable else we merely
have a lot of duplication of purpose.

Best,

Jim
