Biblical Hebrew Forum

George, I understand the point. It is good that we don't have such
discussions on this list unless they are related to language.

But I think you also need to stop people posting notices of articles which
are controversial and way off topic. This can very easily become a way for
certain people to promote their own viewpoints without others having a right
to reply. Of course we could all upload our responses to personal websites
and flood the list with notices of such responses, but I don't suppose you
want that either.
