Your post, Ronald, fully quoted below for the redigestion by your target audience, just to quite likely be followed up once more by hefty throw-ups, is of such blatantly appaling ignorance, that it took me quite some efforts in self-conviction to pass the "DON'T YOU EVER FEED THE TROLL!" threshold. But here we go: you may want to familiarize yourself with the "Keep Ukraine connected" initiative. Just to mention *ONE* community effort in this regard. And let me finish with a personal plea: could you please find yourself other playgrounds where people might actually be more prone to accept your insults and your delusional censorship theories? That would at least help me to reduce on my blood pressure meds again. On 14.08.2022 00:01, Ronald F.
