Yes. I've already noticed on this list that the questions are 
generally too broad to be intelligently discussed on email. 
"Which letters are authentic?" is simply an unworkable discussion
topic. "Is Colossians authentic?" might be discussable. Folks
ought to consider, when posing a question or (worse) a set
of questions whether in fact it is reasonable to think that coherent
answers could, even in theory, be given through email.
