Thanks Edward, for once again reminding us how important it is to read (and
remember) the prefatory parts of critical works. So much did you impress
me on this point a year ago that I actually went through the errata for
Hatch & Redpath and marked up my copy. A week later I learned of a the new
edition of the Concordance. All this to show that while scholarship
requires fastidiousness; a sense of humour sure comes in handy from time to
time!
