Come on, Vasileios...
Stop polluting the list with this! I know you are right at your point of view.
As Bulgarian I have other opinion about the history of our region but I'll
never make a political statements here - there are other medias.
If Zoran and company has self-determined them as "macedonians" (Greeks issue )
and the language as "macedonian" (Bulgarian issue) neither you nor anybody
else are in position to tell how they should call themselves.
It's about the same with China - Taiwan.
After all, the problems and speculations will never stop and flame wars are
not a good thing for this mailing list!

Regards,
Bobby
