Hari,
for what reason do you consider this to be spam?

Hello Jim:
I am a bit embarrassed, I replied to all - not thinking it would show up here. Posting onto PEN
is of course, quite reasonable. I seem however, to have also gotten separate personally directed messages from Michael. The other was on Cuba.

I fully support both Cuba and Venezuala as nation-states struggling to defend themselves from imperialism. However, I view neither as a bastion of socialism.  For what it is worth I have high respect For Michael Leibowitz himself.

If somehow I have misunderstood the original messages and have misinterpreted a single message from Michael to PEN as somehow being a spam, I apologise in advance.

Best, Hari
