This is a useful thing to know about your circumstances (as opposed to 
thinking that you simply don't want to read, which is sometimes what comes 
across in your posts. This is why I have asked you at times what your 
background is with regard to Hebrew study. It is helpful to know whether a 
person is in the beginning stages and is engaging in self-study,, whether 
the person is an intermediate student at a university which might have 
access to materials through interlibrary loan, or whether the person is a 
Ph.D. level scholar. I'm not asking this just so that I can create some kind 
of "I'm better than Jim" mentality. It really does help me to know what kind 
of information you might need when I am addressing my replies to you.

On another note, I still think you are reading a lot of motives into this 
debate and assuming that people are directing things at you that just 
aren'tthere. Your original post on the concept of Hebrew as a holy language 
generally intrigued me. My reference points for this discussion are quite 
different from yours. Perhaps we could learn things from each other...
