Barry,

As we both know, KJBO Christians, dogmatically care about this issue,
although it is quite possible that they are mistaken in believing that
God
wants to be known by the name "Jehovah".

And it seems at least possible that not only does God want His Name
honored,
but he wants His Name to be honored with the correct spelling.
that he Himself made known to the Jewish People thousands of years ago. 

This assumes that it was the Masoretes that changed the Masoretic Text,
so that those who translated his name "as it was written"
mistakenly translated it as "Jehovah".

OF COURSE THEN AGAIN, MAYBE JEHOVAH [OR MAYBE YEHOVAH] IS CORRECT. 
Or is it "Yahweh" or "Yahaweh" that is correct. :-)

You clearly, David, have a religious interest in this question which is
not 
shared by the majority of people on the list.  For me, the precise
spelling 
or pronunication is purely of academic interest.

[snip]

A couple of reasons:

1. It's been discussed again and again and again and again and again on this  
list over the 
years and the discussions never get anywhere.

2.  It's meaningless. It has nothing at all to do with biblical hebrew 
language and exegesis.

Please drop it.  The vast majority of us are sick of the  subject.
