		". . . try the title page of the so-called "Manual of
Discipline."

	It is the so-called Manual of Discipline which always in Qumran
	discussions refers to 1QS.  The more recent name is "the
	Community Rule."  When one uses either of these terms 
	Qumran scholars think of 1QS, not 1QSa.  Your identification of 
	your references as Manual of Discipline caused both
	Bob Kraft and me some time checking, being puzzled by, and
	loss of listmembers time by discussing the wrong text.  I do
	not mind the time loss from an honest mistake, which anyone
	can make.  But I do mind being blamed for your mistake.  I
	would think a simple "excuse me" to Bob and I for leading us
	in circles would be more appropriate.
