<DIV>I usually lurk on this list, but I want to say I
have found this discussion helpful.  I'm glad to hear the patient
explanations and the direct questions.  The question raised in your post
is one that has troubled me since I started looking into what these
Aspectologists are all about.(Please I mean no disrespect by Aspectologists,
I just don't know what word is general enough to cover what all these fine
scholars are doing.) To you who hold with this newer thinking on aspect, I
also ask: How do you know that aspect is only a point of view in Koine
Greek?  How do you know that Foregrounding and Backgrounding are what
the writers intended to do with these morphological choices?  If there
is some objective basis for these ideas, I would love to hear them, because I
am delighted to think about Aspect in these terms.  It seems too explain
many difficulties, and provide a push toward the goal of understanding just
what the Greeks meant by they're choice of tenses. But I have an uneasy
feeling that I'm in a fairy land and not in touch with the "guts" of the
language.  I am a mathematician by training, so you may see how this
viewpoint could appeal to me, but can you put me on a more solid footing with
some objective evidence? Thank you, Dave Reigle Elizabethtown, PA <A
