	Mutual respect is fine; I'm all for it.  But may I suggest that
mutual respect is more readily recognizable when it is expressed freely
than when it is adhered to because it is prescribed. 

	We're not talking about speaking languages not understood by one
another.  Take for example a couple of titles that have to do with the 
list topic:  Wu:rthwein calls his book _The Text of the Old Testament_ 
whereas P. Kyle McCarter, Jr. has written _Textual Criticism: Recovering 
the Text of the Hebrew Bible_.  Either of these titles is equally 
understandable; so why the fuss?

	I think it is probable that the majority of those on the list 
would like, as I would, to save the bandwidth we're using on this debate 
for matters that are more on topic.
