Reinventing (the) Jesus (Seminar)

I am a huge fan of April DeConick's work on The Gospel of Thomas and benefitted from it extensively in the writing of my own thesis on Thomas--available in a forthcoming volume from Kregel! :)--and her blog is fantastic as well. But surely I'm not the only person who noticed that her recent (well-received) critiques of the Jesus Seminar were made just as forcefully two years ago in Komoszewski's, Sawyer's, and Wallace's Reinventing Jesus. To be fair, I don't doubt there were plenty of others before them who made similar critiques as well, but still, seems a bit odd to me.
