Sending e-mail to Lithuania is like sending it to the black hole of the universe
Vytautas Sliupas
I wish to add another bit of advise to your fine article on Ignorance.
Lithuania's business people and government officials are yet to learn the necessity of good communications.
Without a two way communication there is no possibility for further contacts.
One of the most frustrating experiences I had was in e-mail (before that it was in regular "snail mail") communications. I would write and write but receive no reply (with only a few exceptions).
When I was working, our management had a rule - "answer all letters received in not more than three days. If there is no answer to be given, than at least acknowledge the receipt".
One of my American colleagues, who was sincerely trying to help Lithuania, said "Sending e-mail to Lithuania is like sending it to the black hole of the universe. Everything goes one way and nothing comes back". No wander he is now disenchanted and helping others.
