Hi all,
Hum, it seems that he still not happy with the modifications you have made.
Not sure of what we can do and if we can do anything?
If you look at Wikipedia [1] and [2]
'Of Macedonia's neighbours, Serbia and Albania recognize the Macedonian
language whereas Greece and Bulgaria do not'.
So it's a question of language any way.

Kind regards

We regret to inform you that there is no language with the name "Macedonian" as you
mention in the list of languages in the above sites. The exact UN acknowledged name of the
country is Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) & as a result the name of the
language is Former Yugoslav Macedonian. We are deeply disappointed with this misinformation
and we expect you to correct this terrible mistake, which is a history forgery, the soonest.
Regards
Ioannis Andriopoulos

May I suggest that we have gone about as far as we should, to
accommodate this trollish nonsense? The right of a country to call
itself what it will may (or may not) be subject to U.N. jurisdiction.
The right of the speakers of a language to call it what they will is
not, AFAIK, subject to anybody's jurisdiction. The non-recognition by
some countries, of a language, does not mean that the language does not
exist.
If a rival claimant to the language name should appear, and want to add
content to our site, then we might ask /both/ language groups to qualify
their names, as "Macedonian (FYROM)", and "Macedonian (something else)".
Meanwhile, not to bother.
Were this an Issue, I'd suggest "Close/WONTFIX".
