While I agree that much of the dialog that appears on V2020 is not intended to
change the opinions of the reader, I do think that the energy that is visible
in these posts gives an indication of the importance placed on these matters
and thus they do relate to the larger issue of the future of Moscow. I would
also like to add that following Mark Seman’s suggestion to have
government people post issues, I have posted a few things and the responses, both
public and private, have all been instructive, helpful, and full of insight. I
believe strongly in the future of Moscow, it is a community that is engaged,
creative, and wanting all the best for every individual. The path to the future
is never straight nor clearly marked, but I am sure that collectedly we will
find our way there.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
