tc-list: a discussion list of biblical textual criticism

This list is loosely associated with the electronic journal _TC:
A Journal of Biblical Textual Criticism_, and it is intended for a
discussion of any matters relating to biblical textual criticism, broadly
defined. The rationale for the creation of the TC journal is given below.
It is hoped that subscribers to the tc-list will reflect on and respond to
material from articles in TC, will deal with issues that arise in the
context of text-critical study in the community of biblical scholars at
large, and will use the list to suggest new ideas and methodologies.
Notes on any aspect of the textual criticism of the Jewish and Christian
scriptures (including extracanonical and related literature) are welcome,
and threads that transcend the traditional boundary between textual
criticism of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and New Testament textual
criticism are especially encouraged. We would also like to see threads
that discuss the relationship between textual criticism and other
disciplines.

This list is an unmoderated list, and anyone who is a subscriber to the
list may contribute. Conventional netiquette should be followed by all
contributors to the list. The following points in particular should be
kept in mind. (1) Discussion of topics other than textual criticism (or
other topics likely to be of interest to members of the list) should be
avoided. (2) Scholarly discussion can at times be somewhat heated, but
civility should always prevail. (3) Contributors to the list should
always sign their messages with their names (not just e-mail addresses).
Additional information, such as institutional affiliation, might also be
of interest to others on the list. (4) When responding to a message on
the list, quote only that portion of the message that you are responding
to, or enugh of the message to remind readers of the context o
