The Brown site is one of the more clever uses of the Web and has some very
nice things on it.  One caution however, the main section which has to do
with the principles of TC and the nature of "text-types" is based on a book
I had never heard of before and which contains statements which are--well
lets us just say as nicely as possible--debatable.  For example, they
confidently assert that Lucian was responsible for the Byzantine text-type,
that the Cesaerean text has a certain provinence and character, etc., etc.
There are several things like that which many, if not most TC scholars
today, regardless of the view they hold, would not agree with.  CAVEAT EMPTOR.
