I have to admit there are times when not being able to read French is a
blessing (and these recent postings have been a case in point). It just so
happens I would like to post something that I hope will lighten the mood a
bit on Maundy Thursday that whilst not strictly connected to Verne, should
be able to raise a smile from those who know Verne's books very well indeed.

    I met Zvi twice in Amiens and was impressed by the generosity and energy
that he displayed in supporting his web site. His intention was to
facilitate scholarly and fraternal interchange on the life and oeuvre of
Jules Verne, and certainly not as a vehicle for personal (and public)
grievances that show no respect for our departed friend Zvi. Am I alone in
deploring this insult to the memory of our regretted Zvi? If not,I would
welcome postings of support that 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.
    If my view is shared by other Forum members, please register your
support. There is much that can be achieved creatively and much that can be
lost by abusing the memory of of a true Verne enthusiast who worked so hard
to create friendship and who would certainly be saddened to see
    his vision and talent abused in recent postings.
