Re: Immanuel Wallerstein in the world press

Dear Mr Ellis,

What you are complaining about is useful for most people on this list,
if one judges from the topics and discussions over the past years. These
postings may seem "huge" to people who are uninterested in the topics
and therefore see them as irrelevant. In this sense, by your own
criteria, the repetitiveness of your own message brings it closer to
being 'spam' than most others.

Regards,
Petros Haritatos, Athens

P.S. -- Perhaps not everyone is familiar with the abbreviations in your
appended self-description. Can you please let us know what "Socl." and
"Sec/abuse" stand for?
