Ah, too bad.  Then I must view those who would steal the name Israelite as no better than common Claim Jumpers, Thieves of the good names of others, and who attempt to justify their greedy, clutching, grasping actions by subverting the word of God.  These are the true Cultists, no better than the Jim Jones cults of history.

those nations per se.

It IS a pain to have to redo lecture notes. I know from experience teaching Graduate School at two of the nations finest.

After all, retirement is probably less than 20 years away, so why bother?  If you put the lecture notes in plastic sheet binders the actual paper may also last until retirement.  And with a little luck, new discoveries and ideas will not close in about you so closely that others will note you have become quite stale and obsolete.

>This is hardly a critical or important matter to me, and I never bother to teach on it.

Clearly it is not important to you.  It is not important to teach students the truth, only what is in the sullabus.  Accuracy in Academia is not important, for in the end only Tenure counts.

Have a  nice undistrubed day.  Sleep well.

Who has stolen the name "Israelite?" Who are these Claim Jumpers and Thieves, these Greedy, Clutching Graspers?

Will you plainly tell me to whom you refer?
