Actually, I did mine independently of Carl. So, we have two readings
from different text camps (to continue the textual criticism analogy).
That should give it even more clout. Sure is nice still having the
author around. :)

Hey, I never have a problem deferring to Carl. Before I bow, however,
you said,
"if subjective the believers out there would be doing the modeling." No,
if subjective, then the type or example of Timothy would be the object
which the believers, the subject, would be imitating.
