Writing re. the Longer Ending of Mark, Maurice Robinson (7 April 1996:
tc-list digest IV # 48 2/2) remarked that he was taking us off the track of
textual criticism.

Certainly this list ought not to degenerate into mere theorizing concerning
textual criticism and needs to keep concrete cases before it both for their
own value and as illustrative of the nature of the data.

Let us not forget, however, that by their own admission, one of the
principles guiding the editors of the NA26/NA27 text in the decisions they
took for the Gospels was a commitment to Marcan priority.
