Done! We have had an extensive correspondence on B-Greek (off-and-on since
June 1) of the topic indicated in the subject-header above. Many CP
list-members are also members of B-Greek, and the web-site is the same
location, practically, as that for CP. I would urge those who are not
members of B-Greek to review the correspondence, if they wish, at the web
site (guests may read but not reply to messages at the site):
