This is the first I'd heard of this proposal, but I'm behind it 100%. Absolutely no-one in the States has any idea whatsoever what "Magyar" means (well, maybe Strick, me and a few Magyar ex-pats), and that fact alone may account for the low traffic. Seems to me that if it's intended to give browsers a peek into some Hungarian issues, it might be a sensible change to make. Of course if it's meant to be obscure by _design_, that's another thing. ############# # This message to Hungary-Online@hungary.yak.net # was from Dave Del Torto # # To unsubscribe, # send "unsubscribe" to # An announcement-only subscription (less volume) is available # at # Send mail to for more information, # or to if you need human assistance. #############
