I have lifted all the suspensions of subscribers from the other week
during the flame war/debate over the Red Army and rape. If I missed
anybody (you will know if your post gets bounced to me), I will lift
your suspension as well. Just assume that everybody is free to post once
again.
I agree with Mark that Stalin-Trotsky debatte is a distinct debate from the
debate on the historical role of the Soviet Union before, during and after
the WW II. But these two debates can hardly be separated and do not think it
is settled at all as we just start thinking about the issues involved f
"On the question where to debate these issues: I do not think to transfer
the debate to another, yet to be established list. But one can set
limitation to the postion of people involved, say, two or three a day or
something like that. Debates are real debates if they involve 'public'."

trying to find out who purchased 16 small farms on Rout 130 in North Brunswick,
New Jersey in 1955, how many times the ownership of the land changed hands and
