Indeed it did (but I don't save old mail). And, again, this is merely
preliminary to the following statements (in the original post) regarding the
purpose of Qumran- the central issue I was interested in and the one most
appropriate for Orion. This first theory was merely introductory- though it
has now for some reason become the focal point.

Yes- and though my interest in the issue is as alive as ever, I do not think
it is an Orion topic. So, since I have said this now several times I think
it best if I do not mention it or respond again on list. If someone wants
to discuss the issue privately, or on ANE, I would be more than happy to do so.
