In general, my dream is to see the situation where Aramaic/Hebrew prioritists try to cooperate with each other, rather than bicker and fight.
Our real enemies IMHO are not the other Aramaic/Hebrew prioritists, but rather the Greek-only zealots, who are 99% of all biblical scholars today.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend? That strategy might work in foreign politics, but why employ it in the search for truth?
The stinker in Marqus 9:49 that Andrew referred to is a play on Aramaic roots that is only present in the Peshitta (see http://www.peshitta.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38). The play on roots - the Greek lost it. The Old Scratch is missing it - and so with Bezae, not surprisingly.
Only one possible explanation - what you already know. The Bezae is Old Scratch's daddy.
