If you had read my "Historical Allusions in the War Scroll," DSD 5.2
(1998) 172-214, you would have discovered Wacholder cited at p. 195 n. 110 and
discussions of the Apocalypse of Weeks and eschatological chronological
systems at pp. 175-85. Your postings have numerous irresponsible
misstatements based on your misguided guesses about my work on the War Scroll.
Discussion and even spirited disagreement are always welcome, if informed.
But that you apparently find it unnecessary to research or accurately
represent opinions differing from your own is a breach of scholarly etiquette.
Kindly do me the basic courtesy of either reading my work or refraining from
discussing it on this list.
Thanks in advance,
