[sword-devel] Often-requested yet never-available Bibles

[Daniel Owens]

Ryan,

Did you ask them to explain the reasoning behind this exclusion? Was 
this through email, a letter, or a phone call or what? I am tempted to 
get on the phone and try to talk to them to find out their reasoning. 
Perhaps some more personal contact might help things...
