Hi everybody!

Well, well some people are very convinced about certain things.

I don't want to go through the details (delays from one of our suppliers)
that caused the repeated delivery delay discussed here, all I can say is
that it lays more than a year in the past and was solved in the end. I would
also like to take the opportunity to thank the MKVI customers that had to
wait, but had a bit more patience.

Concerning the interesting dicussion about the word "fascism" I would
suggest that one uses a proper English dictionary, like the Oxford English
dictionary:

"fascism": extreme right-wing dictatorial political system or views
"fascist": person who supports fascism, extremely right-wing, reactionary

The dictatorial aspect of the word is just one component, the "extremist
right wing" connotation is extremely strong. Fascism is always associated
with extremist right-wing views and a belief of the superiority of the
strongest, therfore its close connection to racism. I find associations like
this towards the moderator of our list very inappropriate (to say the
least). Commuication on this list would benefit from a more civilized tone
of language.

Since David isn't on the list it is not appropriate to write allegations
where the accused has no possibility of defending himself. I think we should
leave it at that.

Best

Markus
