Here is the full text of that post, minus the part that Ian clipped. I
took this directly from the archives.

No, this is Ian saying "I haven't read the Hebrew grammars." Let's
get right down to it. Last year you told me that you couldn't read
Hebrew, had never learned it. Is this still the case?

Here endeth the cut-and-paste. Please notice that there was no
paragraph break after the phrase "the Hebrew grammars." To verify
that this is so, check the archives; the URL of the message there
that I just cited is
http://franklin.oit.unc.edu/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?sub=90212&id=126430942

So now, Ian, you know which question. How about an answer?
