I just want to say that by no means do I offer suggestions in the
expectation that they may not be or should not be challenged; they are
often enough pretty speculative and based upon a reading of the Greek
rather than familiarity with the exegetical scholarship--and often enough I
will go out on a long and fragile limb; I welcome confirmation of a
suggestion that seems plausible or even probable by one so familiar with
that exegetical scholarship as Edward, and I'll be the last to object when
he offers a more likely explanation and/or disproves my own. I am by no
means that difficult to get ahead of, even if Edward graciously says
otherwise.
