Well, naturally, I'm happy to learn that I'm not under attack. I
don't know how multiple copies went to Hari; I'm pretty sure I didn't
send any directly to him but it may be that he's on one of several
mailing lists that picked up the call and circulated it as well. I
know how I hate receiving multiple long messages when I'm in Cuba
(and greatly limited in terms of e-mail access); sorry about that.

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
