NO ONE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT SKIN COLOR OR ETHNICITY other than he introduced himself that way. The whole issue is over his statement about non KR issues. This is another classic example of not reading and thinking before you speak.

I read twice all the answers Isaac got to his message and did not find anything even slightly related to "ethnicity". I invite you to read them back and tell me where I go wrong. He wrote his first message inviting us to leave political opinion out of the list. This, although correct, may not be the best thing to talk about when you write for the first time. Anyway this is not important. People told him very politely that we were interested in Serge's first hand report on what's happening in France as we were about Katrina. I cannot see the problem. You can see an account on important events even on your sports newspaper, sometimes. Well, sometimes is the right word. 99.999% of messages are related to flying, 99.9% related to building and flying KRs, so I think that we can be very satisfied with the list. I'll read twice to see if there was anything that could offend an african-american, but I do not live in a multiethnic country, yet, so I may be wrong. Come back, Isaac, stay with us and enjoy the list! Cristiano. Roma. 2005/11/15, Mark Jones <[email protected]>: > > Well guys, you have done it again!!!!
