 Thanks David,
 isn't it silly of me to be so hurt by a man who
 seems intent on attacking me?
 The first time he did that he:
 1) Reproached me for mentioning his name to the
 whole group,
 2) Asked me to..apologize to
 him!

 I'd nearly think that...he has a sense of
 humor!

 You are right, not many in the group are so much
 "Czernowitz" like myself, I suppose your mother is!
 Our native city was something that we carry with
 ourselves all our lives, it has formed us, educated us,and provided us with a
 multi-culture few people possess! I cherish my memories and I share them
 gladly, but this doesn't mean that I have to sound like
 a..parrot!

 Thanks again,
 Lucca

 Dear Lucca, While the
 principal interest of many of the correspondents to the group is
 genealogy, this of less interest to myself and to my mother Erica. It
 is not that I am not interested in genealogy - rather that our
 knowledge of our family tree is so limited that it would be very
 difficult to start to make wider connections. My
 interest principally centres on what life was like in pre-war
 Czernowitz - details of people's lives, what the town was like, shops,
 Temple, etc etc. Now not many of our contributors to the group seem to
 have actually lived in Czernowitz at this period, were old enough to
 absorb and remember details of the way of life, and actually write to
 the group about them. You are one of those who do! So
 Erica and I especially value your contributions. So
 please, do not take certain adverse comments to heart. We are very
 much looking forward to further vignettes of Czernowitz life from
 you. We all benefit from your being a "natural and compulsive
 writer"! Best regards, David

 11:27 AM Subject: a piece of advice Mr
 Levy, I seem to offend you every time I open my mouth...so what about
 deleting my messages before reading them? I don't have any intention
 of hurting anyone's feelings, we have our common roots in the Bucovina
 that's true, but many years have gone by and our lives continued and
 continued... I was under the mistaken impression that I had joined a
 group of people who are friendly and where one can utter here and
 there an opinion not connected with our distant past. I am a natural
 and compulsive writer, and believe me, for the few people who object
 to my "digressing", there a few others who react in a friendly manner
 as one would to the remarks of an e-mail co-correspondent.
 I think it would be a good idea to stop writing to this group for a
 while... Lucca </BLOCKQUOTE>
