Dear Ian

I'd like to register emphatic support for your intervention, which I've just seen. Personal arguments and insults are always unpleasant on a list. In the present case, they also tarnish the memory of the JVF's visionary and exceptionally generous founder, and that is surely intolerable.

  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.
