     Oh, poor Mark.  In my case I think that you are 
referring to a remark that I made on marxism-and-sciences, 
not M-I, in which I simply noted that you had said (on Jan. 
30, if I am not mistaken) that people in the gulag now 
regretted having "resisted Stalin."  Did you or did you not 
make that statement?  If you did, you have no grounds for 
complaint about me.
     BTW, I have the same gripe with you that Paul Zarembka 
does.  You whine that nobody responds to you, but I wrote a 
fairly careful reply to your Jan. 30 remarks.  You never 
responded, Tovarisch.
