I would like to ask tc-list participants to comment on the variation at I
Thess. 1:1.  In the face of the byz tradition plus Aleph, A, 33, and the
Bohairic, internal evidence (harmonizing with every other Pauline letter)
convinces me that the text of UBS & N-A27 is correct (omitting APO QEOU
PATROS hHMWN KAI KURIOU IHSOU XRISTOU).

This appears to me to be one place where a byz scribe probably would have
gone with the longer reading even if he knew of mss that had the omission.
Also as the minor variations in other sources show, this is likely a
harmonization that would have been made by several scribes in different
places independent of each other.
