    Karl,

    Your thoughtful response is correct, since the moderators here are 
volunteers, and have a full, busy schedule of their own. Everybody is 
grateful to them.

    I repeat the quote I used, witout the the author's name, becasue the 
individuals involved are not the issue.:

     "...Aramaic appears to me to be but bastard Hebrew, and the genetic

    Exactly as if somone states in an Astronomy list: The moon is made of 
cottage cheese, and repeats the same in variations many times.

I take it a step further—I don’t even read their postings, so spare myself
even of thinking about how wrong they are. That also spares me of the
thoughts of trying to correct them.


Too many strong egos, wanting to be correct? And to correct? How long would
they stay if no one but the moderators answered them, and the moderators
only to shut down threads where they are the only contributer?
