Dear Ian,

Thank you for your message. I fully agree with you, the JV forum is NOT the place to let personal anger to be shown.

I can only subscribe to what you wrote: "the real purpose of the Forum is as Zvi would have wished it, to promote our understanding of Verne the man and the author and not as a medium for personal attacks."

And now in French (et maintenant en français):
Merci, Ian, deton message. Je suis entièrement d'accord avec toi, le forum JV N'EST PAS l'endroit où étaler des rancunes personnelles.

Je ne peux que souscrire à ce tu viens d'écrire: "le vrai but du Forum comme le souhaitait Zvi, est de promouvoir la connaissance de Verne comme homme et auteur et non pas d'utiliser le Forum pour des attaques personnelles".
