Sorry, my attempt to cite in Russian was not successful. (Though I tried
sending my message from one my e-mail account to another and received
Russian text OK.) Grisha Sigalov explained very clear, what was my message
about, thank you very much, Grisha.

To Vladimir A. Maltsev
Now, it is not a friendly and well known club you call "zadripannyi", it is
one of the well known and respected universities. I was silly enough to
think that you were trying to insult only 200 of members of speleological
society. Of course, the idea was much more grand: to insult thousands of
students, graduates and scientists... How Grisha said: "He can 't help it."

I haven't forgot the native tongue, but it is hard for me to read in your
version of Russsian, rude and provocative. Though I suppose to provoke is
just what you are about...
