  1. Avi Blizovsky many comments (and not only mine) are blocked there, why for example is this message blocked? for whatever reason ?

    But we designed and built something better, so what do I care about the eye ???

  2. The late Zvi Yanai deserved the Israel Prize. He also deserves to have master's theses and doctorates done on his literary work. People of his stature are lacking today.
