I did. Your argument didn't cut much, given the location of ps93. At the
same time, despite the coincidence, I am more willing to contemplate the
possibility that ps110-117 were part of the scroll, given the possible
location between fragments D & E.

Pure obfuscation, Dave. How about making a point about the data instead of
assuming your conclusions. So there are textual problems. Get to some
evidence, will you? I look forward to your attempts at producing a
mechanism that will supply a tangible dating of ps110 based on your
philological analyses. Otherwise I'll take the assertions regarding the
textual anomalies in the psalm as interesting but irrelevant.


Cheers,


Ian
