<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hello, Jane,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Sorry for my short contributions, but I only wanted to
start a discussion. That's why I get provocative, sometimes. I agree, of
course, with what you said on English.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>As for the rest, I wanted to show you the sort of person I
am. Is it worthwhile talking to him? Or is it all rock and roll? Does he keep
focus on the original goal? These are you legitimate questions, and I had them
in mind whe I made these short contributions. Therefore I think, it's not rock
and roll, but a historical and psychological chain of reaction which cannot be
separated from the ruling east/west perceptions. Only if they are used to
think in hierarchies, Westerners have difficulties in communicating respectfully
with Easterners. I can understand Olga very well and don't let me be stamped as
a Westerner. Therefore I reminded us that there are "Easterners among us
Westerners": Affluent hospitality does not occur only in the East, you can
experience it in Western rural areas, too, or in Western lower classes. You come
across this phenomenon wherever capitalism hasn't got people under full control
yet.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>You cannot have mutually respectful forms of communication
without common contents. So I wondered which these could be.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
