<\/a><\/div>\nJim Linville has posted<\/a> a lengthy consideration not only of the recent piece by Ronald Hendel<\/a> about SBL, but also subsequent online discussion thereof (there has been\u00a0quite<\/a> a<\/a> bit<\/a> even<\/a>\u00a0since<\/a> I<\/a> last offered a roundup). As usual, he comments not only with intelligence and insight but also humor, largely in the form of LOLcats.
