I have had the same impression and wonder how much work people have done in
researching their questions before posting them on B-Greek. It would also be
very helpful, when a passage is the focus of discussion, that one interact
with the reference grammars and commentaries (especially when the view
espoused stands contrary to them). A recent example of this I find in the
post re: Stanley Porter and Periphrastic Participles. If my comment seems
incompatible with the practices on B-Greek, please forgive me and disregard
it.
