Shlama,
Well, from some of your comments, and based on most 20+ individuals that I know, the level of knowledge each of you have displayed in some of your posts concerning various topics, I assumed you had to be older than what you are. Most 20+ individuals I know are lacking in any appreciation for the Hebraic/Aramaic Scriptures and its history, textual criticism, etc. and lack of knowledge thereof. When I say I thought you were older, it's not meant as an insult, more of a compliment instead.
It's sad that young people these days, even if growing up in an environment surrounded with Hebrew or Aramaic, take no interest in it whatsoever. Sad.
I know. It's even more depressing for those of us who are interested in Hebrew/Aramaic and textual criticism, because we have no peers with whom to discuss it. But, Baruch HaShem, there are coming to be more and more of us. There's a great returning in our generation. Somebody lit a fire, and the enemy is going to have the devil of a time trying to put it out. (pardon the pun)
Shalom,
Dawid
