I'd like to add my voice to the chorus contemplating the creation of a new list. IMHO, b-hebrew has drifted from its original intent. It has now largely become the "Use and misuse semitic languages to argue about Biblical history" list instead of the "Ask questions about Biblical Hebrew language and syntax" list. B-greek is a wonderful example of a list that has maintained its original focus on Biblical Greek language and syntax, largely due to the firm but benign dictatorship of its moderator, Carl Conrad.
So let me challenge the moderators. Are you willing to exercise some discipline and return to the original conception of the list? Or should some of us simply form a new list (called "Reformed B-Hebrew" or "B-Hebrew-Language") and switch our list memberships accordingly?
