Re: paleonet Palaeontology versus Geography versus Cultural Respect Versus Politics

["Bruno GRANIER" <brcgranier@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Xavier,
I checked that you are effectively the same person envolved in the same issue in the IBERPAL list (Reference "Mensajes en lenguas no latinas", starting and ending by early May 2000)!
If you have been removed from this list there was a good reason!
I don't want to hurt you but please do not insist! Again I think that it is not the place to talk about your problem ...
That's my last message on this particular issue since I don't wish to pollute the list with Q&A on such a poor debate!
Bruno
