Re: Kosovo postings

[<Rfreitagmw@xxxxxxx>]

1. While the Kosovo discussion isn't about how to do research, it is entirely 
about how to USE research. I agree this is at the fringe of the purpose of 
this list, there are occassions where all of the academic discussion are put 
to the test, and we are called upon to take concrete action based on what 
we've learned. I appreciate Dr. Oddone's call to us to respond in this case. 
In respect for the list, I've done all of my communicating on this matter 
directly with him rather than on the list, as he's prepared his letter.

2. In terms of concrete responses, and keeping the purpose of the list in 
mind, may I suggest that those members willing to append their name to his 
document respond to him (not the list). He could then provide a version with 
multiple signatories to anyone willing to send it to legislators, etc. This 
would allow those of us interested in making some effort to correspond 
off-list, while those with no such inclination are not troubled by postings.

Thank you.
