Our colleague from >Hull reminded us of the intended purpose of this conference. While I very much agree about the irritating rantings of Mr. Bennet & the mysterious (read cowardly) "Dr. B", I strongly take exception to your throwing Ivo into that crowd. If it's not clear, Ivo Skoric is the *moderator* of ZaMir-Chat, i.e., the very guy who makes the list possible. Many of the pointless contributions bear his return address when they arrive in your mailbox, but only because some strange technical problems requires him to forward them to the list. The occassional pieces he writes himself, however, are consistently excellent analyses of the xYugo situation, some of the best writing on the subject I've read anywhere. His recent "One Article Too Late" and very amusing "UNPOFOR Duties Abroad" especially come to mind. He was an experienced alternative journalist in the region before moving to the US. I'd recommend anyone who's confused about what is really his stuff to keep a closer eye at the signature lines and read his usually long pieces with interest, as I do. But as for Bennet & Dr. B., yes, I believe everyone on the list would agree you'd be much better appreciated on soc.culture.yugoslavia.
