@DavidStratton I don't feel like the question is completely genuine, so I don't really want to answer.

@Zoe are you around?

@DavidStratton @El'endiaStarman @waxeagle @Caleb Can one of you guys get me the text to an answer on one of my questions. I saw it came in last night, but I didn't get a chance to read it. I realize it must have been a stinker, but I'm still interested. This one I think.

@AskElisha Are christianity related question on History.SE normally this poorly answered?

@TRiG I just noticed this site yesterday. It is ... different.

The list in that top answer is pretty good. Interesting.

I've been wanting to get into creative writing for a while now, so I might be spending more time there.

@El'endiaStarman I figured. Wax gave me a google doc or something the last time I had this kind of request.

@fredsbend How did he manage to make it so that only you could see it?

@El'endiaStarman I typically use link only sharing in a case like that.

it's not private information

@El'endiaStarman I don't see why only I should be able to see it. I'm not asking for an undelete. I just want to read it just once.

Ah, so information in a deleted answer is generally public information? Just invisible to most people to reduce clutter/other reasons?

@El'endiaStarman basically, anyone with 10k can get it. So no problem screen capping it an linking it.

@waxeagle So I could even screen-cap it and post it here and there'd be no problem?

@El'endiaStarman Yes.

Hmmm...I guess that makes sense. I recall now that there are Meta posts with screenshots of deleted answers/questions.

@El'endiaStarman Thanks, guys. You're the best.

Haha, no problem.

I'm glad to have that misunderstanding of mine cleared up.

It's actually not a bad answer, just the wrong one as curiousdannii said. How can we convince users like that to come back? I bet there's much he could share.

@MattGutting ?

What the heck are you doing up at 2 in the morning? I was just curious because I hadn't seen you around in a while.

@MattGutting sorry I didn't get a chance to get those references, I will get back to you with them.

btw, is it commonly believed Jesus's real name was Yeshua?

If not, what are the other options?

I heard that the name Yeshua means 'the saved' (note the past tense - please confirm for those linguists out there).

@publicstatic There's a few variants that I've seen, but I view them as similar to the difference between Jon, John, and Jonathan. They escape my memory at the moment.

But in a culture where Abram and Abraham have very different meanings and the name of a person was very important, perhaps it's a bigger deal than I think it is. The BH site is great for this kind of stuff.
