I really would like to know what is going on here. I reviewed the
archives of Orion, and David Crowder appears to be the one who introduced
the topic of Chinese characters in the Isaiah scroll to Orion in a post
of August 25, 1997. I, of course, stand prepared to be
corrected by anyone who desires to do their own search of the archives,
but it seems to me that the accusation of the theft of intellectual
property is serious and should be investigated by the list moderator.
