Whose idea was it...

[Flo6]

to abort Imago's thread where he asks the timely, topical, pointed, pertinent, visionary even, question "Why do Brits pronounce 'car', 'Cah?'?!?.. That debate is raging on the Org right now!.. [see 'Britain is Repossessing the U.S.A.' in GD]

"...and unexplained - to me anyway:)] interest in Russian hist/lit/politics, etc."
Hehe, now we know!:)

"I think it's not even the same place as it was."
I can relate to that. Even living here, each year I can barely recognize Moscow from the year before. The display of wealth is what strikes the most [limousines, the highest number of Chanel stores in any European capital, etc.] Great for the economy but not doing much for the dvt and moral health of civil society...

As for Imago: fuck him!

Hey, flo! I visited there a couple of times way back when and just fell in love with it. This was a while ago, and it's been hard watching what happened to Russia throughout the 90s. I'd love to visit again. I think it's not even the same place as it was.

As for Imago: fuck him!

You're welcome. 2the9s seems to be a good source too, given his apparent [and unexplained - to me anyway:)] interest in Russian hist/lit/politics, etc.
