I've just rejected for distribution to the list a question regarding the
NIV translators on grounds that it's raising questions that are not proper
concerns of this list but rather of the B-Translation list. I really think
that the concerns of this thread are way out on the fringes of our proper
subject matter. It's easy to fault ANY translation for how it does one or
another item, but discussion of the merits or demerits of versions as a
whole is something best taken to another venue, I think. Please?
