NP: On the Ukraine thread

[Mark Kohut]

Publicly I want to say that for some of us who don't know much about
Ukraine--although it is my heritage--- and its history and
Russia's history with it and just want to learn as much of the truths of
the present as I can---(and all I follow is the granular situation as it may
become war, with tens of thousands dead), I want to thank you and hope I
speak for a few other Plisters, among the the silent majority who don't
speak up too much.

I know how wrong Joseph has been in differences with me, wrong about basic
facts and decisions so I am glad for all I have learned. I have brought
some of your insights, Martin,
to a large-enough discussion group here in my small but well--informed and
wanting more--town...and mentioned your name.
