Pozor Rossii

[David Powelstock]

I honestly cannot imagine what Alina and Edward mean by "value" in their
posts that caused them to react so curtly on the list.  I think it's pretty
clear that the only value anyone who posted about this to the list was
seeing in this site was *entertainment* value (together with a window into
other people's minds: always interesting). Entertainment value is very far
from no value whatsoever.

Cheers,
David

I second Alina's opinion.
It should be clear that such lists have no value whatsoever.

Sincerely,
