Hi, PETER COGGON! How are you?

 PC>    Russian Fidonet?  Really?

May be you have heard about "Fidolook"? I have been using it for long time.
It is very convinient although it may be not very easy to do complicated
automatic titles and signitures as you wish; you have to learn a special
language to do it. But anyway it's worth it. In general, this program of
course can be used by any user in any country, but some features (as the
definition of cities by the fidonet address) works very well only in Russian
Fidonet because of the built in table.

The only light to be hoped upon is the conscience of people from groups of
society. Buy the way exactly these people make revolutions. ;-) After
enlightenment.

The war in Vietnam had been stopped in this way.

 AK>> I see.  Nothing can be done. ;) It is interesting, is the vote in the

 PC>   I think the USA is like Canada.  In our parliament, we have open

I think it is like during Stalin rule. The speaker says "WHO is AGAINST the
policy proposed by our great leader?" And people are standing and afraid of
scratching their noses so that somebody will not think, by accident, that
they are voting against. I read that in Greece they used to put the voting
balls to the closed ballot-box. This I understand - democracy.

 PC> Then afterwards the speaker of the house stands to announce if the
 PC> vote was approved.  The elections are by secret ballot.  We all

 PC>   In Government in CANADA we <voters> want to know how our
 PC> representative voted on an issue.  That part is not secret.

And in the same time it is too difficult to vote as you wish in open voting
if you can have consequences to your career and the man you vote agaist is
the mighty one.

 PC>  Hey Alexander...it is raining here.  I hope you are not too cold
 PC> over there in Russia.   I would love one day, to take a tour
 PC> of Moscow... I am interested in history, and Moscow is one of
 PC> those places to go.

This winter in Russia was outrageously warm. In December and in January I
rode my bicycle and some trees sprouted their buds. As for me and Moscow, I
have been living in Moscow region quite far from Moscow, but I have been to
Moscow regularly.
