- I got news for you, Mr. Wiener. Not only is the included message
- stuff messed up, but that ain't Polish. It's Yiddish, transliterated
- from Hebrew characters to English ones. Mr. Zieniuk was just wishing

- other assorted Yiddishkeit).

- Thanks for pointing this message out--it *is* nice to know there are Jews
- left in Poland. As the Klezmatics point out, and Mr. Zieniuk would
- agree) Shvaygn es Toyt. ("Silence is Death", the cool--and oh-so-PC--
- title of a new album of Jewish folk music.)

- up message includes?
