Paul:
Please don't take it personally if we don't understand why a thread that
you persist in keeping public, even if only two of you are primarily
engaged, must be dictated by one set of concerns only about that passage.
This is, after all, a public forum. I'm speaking for myself only here, but
it wouldn't surprise me if others too are somewhat surprised at the
suggested limitation upon discussion in a public forum. Suggestion: if you
don't want others to participate except on your own terms, maybe it would
make more sense to take your discussion off the list and continue it
privately.
