[Prishtina-E] Message to Jennifer

[Albi Qeli]

George,

you can do blah-blah all day here, at prishtina-e (the "e" at the end
stands for "english"); prishtina-l is for albanian language; ever since
you decided to intrude, (obviously with the good intention to make us
smarter) albanian posters have disappeared; it is very much your fault; 
you have to understand that many albanians live in non-english speaking
countries, and they do not know english; 

prishtina-e was created for english speakers as far as I can recall; do as
all a service and try to understand what's going on before giving wings to
your fantasy; 

thanks
