While all that you say is true, it would still be helpful for theBarry,
moderators and other well educated Hebraists to point out when a
particular posting is really idiosyncratic, particularly for those who
may just be starting their Hebrew studies.
All three of us have chimed in on discussions from time to time, giving
our opinions about matters. The weight that others give to our opinions
will depend upon a lot of factors. But I refuse to be any kind of oracle
that others depend upon. I expect others to judge what I say based upon
evidence, logic and a host of other factors. The fact that I did my
doctoral work at the University of California, Los Angeles, with the
great Northwest Semiticist, Stanislav Segert, is perhaps interesting and
might get me a hearing. But that's about all. After all, I might not
have learned anything! ;-)
But, yes, the correction of error is with the truth. And someone has to
articulate it. In the end, we all have our own criteria for deciding
what is true or not. And one man's idiosyncracy is another man's
consensus. Sometimes I wish I had chosen natural sciencefor a
vocation... ;-)
