Dear James:

Thank you so much. I don't consider it "advertising". I appreciate knowing
about the availability of new tools. For word studies you can't really beat
Thayer's. He does nice things with synonyms. It's really a pity that the
papyri discoveries rendered him obsolete in most discussions, but when you
supplement him with Abbot-Smith and BAGD, you still glean a good bit from
his discussions
