[sword-devel] clean bible or bad phantasy?

[Martin Gruner]

Why are you talking so much here not really knowing the Sword project at all? 
Just turn off the vowels in the option filter of your Sword based bible 
software and voilá: there is your unvoweled text. Same thing with greek 
accents.

It is a pity that all the time people who never contributed a single thing to 
the Sword project want to be the ones who make the decisions.
