In general, I believe that the idea that Qumran was some sort of a
community of monks is long dead

I have no way of evaluating either how much of the article was
newspaper hyperbole nor do I attempt to evaluate the scholarly findings
(beyond examining the logic of *both sides* of the future arguments sure to
erupt, I'm not convinced by either side so far). But the recent Jerusalem
Post article about Broshi's and Eshel's findings, that I earlier asked for
comments on, was headlined "New evidence nails down Qumran theory." Broshi
still maintains Qumran was a monastery. (The article by Abrahamn Rabinovich
appeared 96.04.05, p. 8.)
