Re: What is the source of this quote: "not protesting against himself being good"

Though I don't know the answer, I'll mention one possibility. On a quick look, W. B.

Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

Q and the "Letter to Theodore" are not closely related subjects. Criticising an Englishman for having an English accent is bizarre. Without attempting an exhaustive list, people who think M. Smith got it wrong include, but are not limited to, some associated with: Harvard, Cambridge (UK), ...
