I have some things which I think are very important to say. Most of you are aware of two letters which I sent a couple of weeks ago, which got extremely wide forwarding on the net. Because of the wide forwarding, the letters caused a great deal of discussion and some damage. I want to make some things clear: 1) These letters were MY opinions, expressed to MY friends. They were intended for a list of 18 friends. If I didn't address it to YOU, you really have/had no right to it. This is to say nothing of forwarding it to another list! The forwarding was unwanted and unrequested. It was done because it's so easy to say "forward to a list" 2) What is/was expressed in the letters IS NOT and WAS NOT the opinion(s) of Digital-Israel in any way, shape, or form. 3) What is/was expressed in the letters was not the opinions of "Israel", "Israelis", etc. What was expressed in the letters was the opinion and feelings of Don Feinberg, on a certain day in January, 1991. Enough said? I'd bet money that THIS note doesn't get such wide forwarding... don feinberg

Don, maybe you should forward this note to the same 18 people on your
original memo's distribution list? :-)
Your experience should be a lesson to everyone who puts his thoughts in
writing, and that does not apply only to electronic media. Even your
best friend may be careless with a letter or memo. The result can be
bad enough if it just involves one's personal life, but there have been
things written in memos, notes, and the press that can cost lives in
the present situation. The press, of course, are the worst offenders,
but their guilt does not release the rest of us from responsibility.
Shalom and Shevuah Tov
Baruch
