It has been drawn to my attention that in a recent publication by the United Macedonian Diaspora (a lovely Greek word) an attack has been made on what I have written about the erection of a statue of Alexander the Great in Skopje. I have also received a number of e-mails on this subject, some applauding what I have said, some merely abusive, playing the man and not the ball, and some disagreeing with me in a more thoughtful way, which sometimes caused me to modify what I had previously written, as I would always be willing to do if shown that I had said anything that was not correct.
