Before any more of this "Dr Riplinger" nonsense gets out of hand, let me
remind the entire group that Gail Riplinger only has an earned Master's
degree in Interior Design, and is **NOT** a "Dr" in any legitimate sense
of the word, let alone any type of authority in fields of textual
criticism or statistical analysis. 

It is true that the ultra-fundamentalist and KJV-Only pastor Jack Hyles
(who runs an unaccredited fundamentalist bible college in Hammond,
Indiana) DID "award" her an "Honorary Doctorate" (a Th.D. I believe!) for
having written the ridiculous _New Age Bible Versions_ book, but this is a
FAR cry from any reason to make this woman academically into something she
most clearly and obviously is not in the current discussions.
