    I want to address this post to the management of art jewellery
    magazine ( small case intended ). 

    You are making a very serious mistake in using your position to
    suppress intellectual discourse. Regardless of whether one is on
    supporting or opposing side of this issue, this is an intolerable
    situation. You are about to find out the real power of the web. It is
    not likely that you will be able to expand your subscription base, 
and
    it is very likely that your existing base will be severely diminished
    in the short order. 

    One suggestion. If you survive the tsunami of cancellations, which I
    suspect is heading your way, may be you should change the name of
    your publication. "corporate jewelry" sounds appropriate. 

Leonid Surpin.
