    Dear Michael Everson:

    The *point* is that everything that's screwed up in
    Unicode Biblical Hebrew (well, almost everything)
    could have been done correctly in the first edition of
    Unicode, if the early Unicoders had listened to Alan
    Groves and others.

    They were the first set of experts that were
    ignored...

    IF IT HAD BEEN DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME,
    the Unicode Hebrew list wouldn't have spent 9 months
    discussing the incorrect stuff ad eternam, I would
    already have a Ph.D. in corpus linguistics, and be in
    Barcelona aligning Hebrew and Spanish, eating tapas,
    and listening to flamenco.....

    instead of participating in the "Thread from Sheol,"
    and wondering if I will ever be a computational Hebraist.....Elaine
