Steve, I'm dying to ask: did Grant Swank used to post on FR? I confess I don't get the joke quite yet.

Grant Swank still posts on FR but now he's pretty much only found on the poetry division.
Prior to his migration he used to post numerous of his theological musings and writings on the religion forum. He rarely would discuss them he just kept spamming threads up for us -- ergo he became the posterboy for incessant threads.
These incessant threads made me homesick for Grant, and I thought that would never happen.

And how is this at all different than this?
The translation of each book was assigned to a team of scholars, and the work was thoroughly reviewed and revised at various stages by three separate committees.The Committee submitted the developing version to stylistic consultants who made invaluable suggestions. Samples of the translation were tested for clarity and ease ofreading by various groups of people. In short, perhaps no other translation has been made by a more thorough process of review and revision.000
I honestly don't see the difference.
But then, I'm not blinded by unquestioning loyalty to a 400-year-old translation.

What was the method that the King James translators used to translate the Bible? But.. but ... doesn't staring into ones hat through a scryer stone give far better results?

Absolutely, and Grant Swank can be the Poet Laureate of Spam.
