[Smt-talk] Last Reply to Prof. Vaisala

[Ninov, Dimitar N]

Dear Professor Vaisala,

Thank you. Since you bring the question of the level of the current discussion, I would like to outline the difference between our approaches to it:

1. I begin my letter with a greeting to you; you do not.

2. I call you a professor, you address me as "Mister".

3. I end the letter with a greeting; you do not.

4. I do not afford to discuss openly the probability of how many colleagues will be willing or unwilling to participate in a discussion with you, because this would be an impolite and cheap attitude on my part. On the other hand, you decided to use this maneuver yourself.

I leave you to consider the above remarks in the light of the current level of discussion, and to make your inferences.

With best regards,

Dimitar Ninov
