Folks, there are people on the Unicode list who have been frustrated by
the volume of traffic on Hebrew, and for that reason a separate list was
created. All of the people currently discussing Hebrew are members of
that other list, although certain individuals have a bad habit of
sending replies back to the Unicode list. When this happens, I think it
would be a courtesy to actively steer the discussion back to the Hebrew
list by sending your replies there.
