No you don't have to, since this is exactly what clutters the diskussion with historical assumptions, and we are not here to discuss history. Furthermore i doubt that this is true as long as you speak in first person plural since i strongly doubt you've actively contributed to the actual invention of cyrilic alphabet. if i as an austrian would say we have brought mozart to the world, you should doubt it, since the only person who could possibly rightfully state that was mozarts mother. Furthermore this would bring me in deep trouble since than i would also have to admit that we the austrians brought hitler to the world, were responsible for the 1st world war and many other unpleasant things during history. So please lets avoid such statements in a present discussion. But maybe this was already to much of an explanation since we're not discussing who invented cyrilic alphabet. your other points are interesting and i'm happy that you stated them for your last point though i've to quote yourselv: "I don't see how it can influence on this topic." despite of course a new flamewar between greeks macedonians bulgarians and serbs. i in this matter have my own opinion you can read it over at: http://float.lefant.net/2004/09/16/ ffpx float > > Igor Petreski, Editor in Chief > - - ------------------------------------------------- > PCInfo+, Macedonian IT Magazine > Vasil Gjorgov, 39 baraka 2 > 1000 Skopje > Macedonia > tel. +389 2 3216356 > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQFBWRtEQkN3ebMsLSsRAtzOAJ44puA4PF91rRfwkZg6G08a0ZXX0wCeMZfK > c3kXJTW7GD34fv9WEPB4M+4= > =wYcI > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
