Schmuel,
It is amazing how you try to make stuff up.
"am aware" is not the same as "familiar" or "having seen"
I am aware of a movie called "Nemo" but I have not seen it nor am I
familiar with it.
I made NO comparison to Murdock (you just made that up)
All I did was say that "the interlinear is helpful". I do not recall
if I said this because I supposed it must be, or if I had seen one
belonging to someone else. And I said "I do not recommend the
translation". I did not say a THING about WHY I did not recommend
it. I did not recommend it because I was not familiasr with it and
had concerns about an edition published by the Way International.
NOWHERE did I say that I did not recommend the translation based on
any comparison I had or had not done to Murdock. You just made that
up.
