Of course I don't know of any!  But why don't you answer my question for 
specifics.  You're always asking for the same.  Are you trying to filibuster 
the answer?

Strangely enough, the general Keller didn't have to change his name to
Chelar, to become general in the Romanian army.

Maybe because his family has been living for generations in the Galati area,
which was never part of Hungary, or even close to it?

Yes, I am.  We were classmates and I was very surprised when I saw the
spelling of her name for the first time (until then, I assumed it was
Cristina).

They aren't Romanian names, either.

I don't think there were that many Hungarians in 1918, when the Romanian
"oppression" ("cultural genocide", whatever) began.  

>leave behind everything they and their ancestors have built and start a

This is precisely what all Hungarians did, some 1000 years ago, didn't they?

>You'd like to see that, wouldn't you. 

Cheap and unwarranted shot.  No, I wouldn't like to see that.  My country
would be poorer without them.  It _is_ poorer without the Jews and Saxons
who already left.  This might surprise you, but not all Romanians think
like Funar and WC Tudor.

I'd like to see less nationalistic politicians on _both_ sides.  This would
help a lot.

Some of them did.  Virtually all the Romanians who emigrated to the USA
before 1918 were Transylvanians.

Ah, this migration theory, so dear to the Hungarians.  Never mind they
can't prove it.

I couldn't see anything of relevance above.

Why should it have grown in proportion, since its proportion has been
decreasing for centuries?  If there was any kind of logic here, I definitely
missed it.

You "forgot" to explain us why.

This "argument" works both ways.  The Transylvanian Hungarians didn't want
to move back to Hungary either.

All the corners of Romania were good opportunities for certain careers.
For example, most skilled workers at the Calarasi steel plant came from
Hunedoara and Galati, because Calarasi offered much better promotion
opportunities.  Mr. Mezei (my neighbour) was engineer at the Galati
steel plant, which was built during the early sixties.  I guess he came
to Galati to improve his career.

They didn't have to keep them for too long, however.  And they haven't
kept them, unless they really wanted.

Marosvasarhely is one of the largest towns in Transylvania.  But you 
forgot to provide names of bigger towns which were left open.

Again, they didn't have to spend there more than three years, in many cases
not even this long.  My father has been given a job to Cluj, after graduating,
but he came back to his home town (Galati) after a couple of months.

It took me a little bit longer to get rid of my job at Calarasi (late
eighties were tougher than late fifties), but I didn't spend there a
day more than I had to.  Your argument is broken, sir.

This was my point, too.  Except that I claim that they weren't forced
to migrate.  Those who did it, were willing to migrate, for personal
reasons.

You hoped that the context of my sentence was far away, hidden by your
smoke.  I was _obviously_ talking about the migration _after_ 1918, because
the discussion was about the change in proportion _after_ Transylvania
became part of Romania.

Maybe, maybe not.  Romania's population growth rate is (and has always 
been) positive.  Hungary's is (or, at least, it was a few years ago)
negative.
