Biblical Hebrew Forum

[James Bowick <james AT bowick.com>]

I have been lurking on this list and a few others for a long time, and also
feel that George has given if anything too much leeway.  Other moderators I
know would have cut most of the threads off at the head and I suspect booted
poster from the list by now.  George has shown wisdom and exceptional grace
and is to be commended for his efforts.
