Zev...

Thank you for your mail and your appreciation. I'm subscribing
unconditionally to your statements concerning Hardy's significance for our
discussion group and even to the variety of topics covered by the different
contributors. As Christian, I didn't disclose my personal preferences on
list topics, nor did I ever claim any Czernowitz related subject as being
off-topic. No need for artificial contradictions, as long as we still do
have real ones.

I don't agree at all with your rating of the moderation effected by Bruce
and Jerome, which in my view is accurate, liberal and sensitive. Name it
moderation or censorship, it's up to you, but please keep in mind, that
based on this - rejected - moderation/censorship

the Czernowitz-L Discussion Group - the Ehpes Website - the ehpes.com Blog

became success stories with a continously increasing number of mailings,
data and postings. I'd like to reaffirm my previous statement, that at the
end of the day

"...thousands mails at our archives, a vast number of data bases, documents,
stories, photos, testimonies, links, etc., more than 250 posts at our
ehpes.com Blog, that's the COLLECTIVE MEMORY our group stands for and
nothing else matters."

Following the unpleasant and polarizing "Reslience/Discrimination"
discussion, I'm considering this thread being even more destructive and
self-destructive, not very atypical for Czernowitz, but not only. However,
admitting my frustration on the "State of the Union", I'm aligning myself to
Sylvia's excellent appeal and by this mail I'm concluding my postings to
this particular thread.

Warmest wishes to all of you!
