dear Ahmad thanks for your enthusiasm about the starting of egyptian discussion! as for contributing to it, I think it`s a better idea to keep the discussion at this other list address [email protected] simply because we have already published it in many different places and it would not be convenient to change it now..also, in this way, we can keep a more ordered track of the comments which dont risk to be lost in other kinds of announcements or event communications,etc so i hope you wont mind to subscribe to the other list to submit your comments all the best dona
