I thought about that, but i figured the people for whom that statement invites a
fight (i.e. KJV-only types) they would probably object to us providing _any_
Bible modules other than the 1611 KJV anyway.  Thus simply by offering the
translations we do, we mark ourselves as not in the KJV-only camp.

I figured if we were going to get the fight anyway, we might as well say what we
believe.  :-)  Maybe you're right, though: it's the difference between knowing
we're going to get people complaining and inviting a fight.
