DTK, Well either it is the most ignorant statement you have heard or it is not. The person making the statement should not influence the decision. The fact that the legend has a scholarly background should at least give you pause before making the outlandish claim. And even if it is mere legend, the rescue at the eleventh hour seemed to serve the purposes of the codex's advocates at the time, only for it to be discredited when it was turned against them.

This is a discussion board, DTK. Light remarks are part and parcel of discussion. I added the smiley to indicate it was a light remark. You will just have to accept it as such.

As for my approach to Rich, I have done the best I can in the limited time and scope of this forum. If you can do better, please be my guest to address the issue from the perspective of the reformed faith. I have never been inclined to listen to back seat drivers, they are a distraction; please be my guest and take the wheel.
