Apparently Conrad was actually speaking for more than simply himself,
as many others have chimed in in agreement. I must admit, it was
getting more than a little tedious for me as well.
I apologize to the B-Greek readers for my role in dragging this thing
on. I should have realized that this was going nowhere and used
better judgment by politely declining to advance an unprofitable
dialogue.
In the meantime, I have truly enjoyed the discussions that others
have engaged in. On to other subjects!
