Re: [xmca] What about a new kind of XMCA forum?

Hi,
I will be very interested to participate and hopefully invite some still
silent Russian voices to the dialog.

I have on my table a violin string. It is free. I twist one end of
it and it responds. It is free. But it is not free to do what a
violin string is supposed to do - to produce music. So I take it,
fix it in my violin and tighten it until it is taut. Only then it
is free to be a violin string.
