i'll be happy to post some original "localized" news. unfortunatly, there 
arent any in israel, so we have forced to stay with translated material's 
only..for now.

well, the people who posted their responces on NewsForge had their chance to 
say what they had in mind. i, personaly, think that its a load of crup to, 
and what i did was just bring the story in hebrew to readers here. whats the 
point of starting some kind of a thread if you are saying what you think if 
it in advance ? that's killing the subject before its even started...this is 
not what a news site is suppose to be about. its suppose to bring the 
article, and let the readers decide what they think about it. weither a 
website chooses to publish a story or not, its a whole diferent story. i 
chose to publish.

if what you are calling out work is "play reporter" then maybe you are really 
someone we are better off without. one thing we are NOT doing here, is "play" 
anything.

the only thing that was "wrong" about this whole issue, is the fact that i had 
the "hoozpa" to share it with the list.
i dont see any reason why you couldnt send this email to me in private, and 
ask not to do it again. 
ohh, i forgot... i am PLAYING here, and you wanted to make sure everyone will 
hear what you had to say..
good for you.
