[Shoshanna Walker <rosewalk AT concentric.net>]

Sorry I forgot to sign my post, I haven't posted in a long time.

The post was about the names - there had been a previous post 
ruminating on what the significance of their names was.  So I posted 
what the Gemara had to say.  - that the names of the
Meraglim (which the Torah lists) hint to the evil intentions they had 
before they departed.
