*****GK: Dear Marco,
In case you didn't notice, Cybalist is an Internet
gathering "discussing matters of Indo-European
history, linguistics and culture". Occasionally,
certain topics arouse great interest among active
posters and there are long sequences devoted to their
nooks and crannies. Albanian is a perfectly legitimate
area of inquiry. There are over 500 list members.
There is no law against anybody raising any issue that
falls within the descriptive parameters mentioned
above. If you're not interested in the intricacies of
Albanian or Romanian, there is nothing to prevent you
from starting a thread on the points you've mentioned.
You say you are "very annoyed". Would you believe that
many people may have found your own comment rather
annoying? Feel free to start something more
productive. Cheers.*****
