            Right - I wrote 3. The you replied

    > Galatians 3:21-22
    >
    > Will you not listen to what the Law says?

            Now maybe that last line wasn't intended to be a reference to Galatians 4:21b
    ("will you not listen to the law?" in the NRSV) but it sure looks pretty close. In any
    case you made no reference to 3:21-22 & the point Paul makes there. So resent all you
    like.
