    Hmm ... let me see ... look to the left under the small image ... yep ... it's a 'star'. How am I not surprised.

    Here's my question, Todd. Why was that so important to you? I'm talking about the put-down which this forum specializes in so much. You could argue, that you're simply clarifying for other viewers and that's certainly true. But we both know interlinears simply describe the format of how data is displayed. Interlinears are one aspect of Logos that I personally highly appreciate in comparison to Logos' competitors. That's why I am periodically critical of Logos marketing department, since they don't highlight all the advantages that many of Logos resources provide.

    Whether an interlinear includes another language is certainly important, though George would probably applaud the absence of glosses. Yesterday in church I asked the pastor's wife if she had a Japanese interlinear ... my spouse had an english Bible in one hand, and a Japanese in the other.

    But again, as I expressed in another thread yesterday, my impression is that the main function of 'star' members is to keep the fires burning. In this case, Rick invited comment ... I answered, since I think Logos.com could be more clear. And the 'star' forum member saw a great opportunity.

    Denise, please forgive me for answering in Rick's stead. I'm sorry if it came across as a put down-- I was just hoping to clarify what I thought the disconnect was. If I hadn't had a star under my name, would it have come across differently?  If so, maybe I'll ask to have it removed.

    Todd ... I'm writing this smilingly (and I appreciate your reply). But Dave Hooton is the one who should loose his 'star'. He never seems to get emotional, his answers are to the point, and when you see a 'Hooton', you know it's best to read it (in addition to the Hootens of course ... that's you Bill). The problem with a 'star' is that there's some sort of expectation concerning the high road, at least for me. My apologies, if I over-interpreted.

    Rick .... are you sure you don't want to back the truck up? In the wiki, I listed out all the various interlinears (including the apostolic fathers): http://wiki.logos.com/Resource$3a_Apostolic_Fathers_–_Greek_Texts  Maybe you're using the word differently? The present Logos offerings don't have the english glosses, and there's 3 separate resources which you can purchase separately (i.e. affordably). I've even run big chunks of them through my pattern software, comparing the sequences to NT, judaic, and LXX sequences to see the differences. That said, I'm in high anticipation of your new one.

    Hi Denise.

    Thanks; I'm using "interlinear" equating with the inclusion of an English gloss; you're using it (probably) more properly since those texts do use the Logos interlinear functionality to display morph and lemma information under the respective Greek word.

    Apologies for my confusion on how the term was being used. And thanks for your anticipation of my work, I hope it lives up to expectations.
