Re: Tension on Cybalist

Adrian,
Why are you so insulting to Piotr? I find his posts very informative
and of assistance in my scholarly pursuits.

All members of Cybalist are welcome, but folks who continue to complain
and wish to "take over" should go elsewhere. I'm sure there are other
less academic groups which might be of more interest to you.

Cheers,
Gerry
