Russian in demand

There is no way using my skills in Russian language in my current job.
There is no way using my skills in English language either.
But I am happy enough reading Mark Twain, Hemingway or Tchekhov in the
language they were written.
I am also able to participate on such list as "seelangs".
Concerning this list, I thought it was a "litterature and language" one.
The last litterature question proposed was "which is the best video on Anna
Karenina".
The last linguistic question was Benjamin Sher's views on Russian aspects,
and it was badly received by "professionals" (I quote Devin P. Browne)
I tried to re-launch a debate on aspects, but all answers were directed to
my personnal address, as if people were shy to answer to the list. These
answers came from all around the world, but only one from the U.S.
Are you, "professionals" not interested on other subjects than your jobs?
I approve the general support some of you organize to the Otago University
professors. But among the many messages I've  received on the subject
"Russian in demand" (and not "support to our colleagues"), some show
offensive attitudes to each other that are disgusting.
This list could be a good place for world wide debate on linguistics and
litterature. Students could ask questions to professors. The hard disk
could be searched by anyone interested on a technical problem. All that
could be a good way, for you professionnals, to promote the general
interest to Russian language you wish in order to keep your jobs.

Best regards.
