I appreciate your sincerity, but, having read your draft letter, I believe
you are profoundly wrong and are misusing this facility.

Were you instead to initiate an open discussion or debate among academic
colleagues or to take a poll of all on these and related mail bases, such
an initiative would be legitimate, no matter who polemically you stated
your fixed opinion.  As it stands, your approach is biased, tendentious and
an inappropriate use of a valuable academic facility.

My vote is against your letter and, instead of using our communal academic
facility to solicit partisan political support, I trust you will encourage
others who disagree with you to register their votes as well.

Montenet.org:  Kao sto zna veliki broj citalaca koji su nam se javljali, komentari citalaca su dobrodosli.  Montenet.org ne prezentuje vecinu komentara koje su licne prirode. Medjutim, ukoliko neko zeli da komentarise ili sugerise teme koje bi mogle biti od interesa citaocima, Monenet.org ce ih okaciti na "http://www.montenet.org/home/letters.htm" po redu u kojem stizu. Mozda je jos jednostavnije ako oni koji hoce da posalju komentar dvostruko pritisnu misa na rijec 'comments', a ukoliko hoce da vide komentare pritisnu misa na rijec  'published' koje se nalaze na dno svake stranice Montenet.org. Alternativno, komentari se mogu poslati na e-mail adresu webmaster@montenet.org.
