Notice also, the title of the planned topic for 10:30 am on 2 July
"Phoenician / Hebrew / Philistine"
Using the same level of reasoning as was just used, one could argue
that the current proposal is deficient because it doesn't also encode
a Philistine block to go with the proposed Phoenician block. I've been
ignoring this discussion because it has reached the level of absurdity.
Indeed, only the change in subject line caused me to not delete the post
I responded to unread. Trying to make points from titles is definitely
absurd.
