I wish to say BRAVO !!  Jan Culik,

Please do not leave this news group, for without people such as you this
list
 isn't worth (as) much. I look to the Internet and news groups like this one
for a better view and understanding not only of Slavic Language and
Literature but the important events in those cultures  and how they pertain
to us.

America has it's own problems with freedom of speach. Our major news  media
exudes in political correction and seems be run by the likes of people such
as Howie Aronson( a commentator on your letter). You remind me of how
important free speach  is here and in the Eastern Block countries.
