To Temur - The TSE list is still alive. Why post it to this list? I don't know - after having read and trying hard to ignore all the heart-rending news of misery in the Balkan and Kosovo in particular during the last year, I just sincerely felt I wanted to thank someone, and these discussion lists are some of my main channels to people of all nations. Kosovo isn't all that far from here either. It's hardly a political thing - just a thank you. I agree that a list like this should allow for some space for humanitarian issues as it can widen thinking and general historical understanding, though extensive political discussions should perhaps better take place elsewhere.

I have no desire to discuss Kosovo, but if people want to discuss it, why not use this forum? If they don't, the discussion simply will not fly. Pound talked about everything under the sun, and Confucius, his sometimes mentor, thought that rules begat more rules, all of which stopped people from thinking and acting responsibily. >>> Temur Kobakhidze <[log in to unmask]> 03/24 9:32 PM >>> Daer Arwin, I am with you as far as Cosovo is concerned. I do not get message from the TSE discussion list. Could you tell me if the list is still alive?
