I have found your posts on Cuba, Slovenia, Yugoslavia and on labor iisssues in Canada to be very thoughtful and thought provoking. I urge you not to withdraw your public comments because of one sectarian individual who often substitutes ridiculous ad hominem attacks for political economic analysis. I know it is not pleasant for you and you feel a responsibility for the people you mention but consider how your comments are seripusly read by many while Proyect's postings are deleted by many people before being read because of his past behavior on this list. Please reconsider your decision to withdraw.
