Who? Some have chimed in and said they don't know Hebrew that
well, but the only ongoing participant on the dating topic who has
actually said publicly (and privately to me a while back, though he
refused to admit it a few months ago when I tried to draw him out)
that he doesn't know how to read Hebrew is your pal Ian
Hutchesson.

It is precisely this kind of arrogant exclusivism that makes me
wonder what you're doing here. All this list seems to do is irritate
you, so why bother? Paul has already given you the answer to this
question, so I'll just follow up with a suggestion: read the charter.
