No you don't have to, since this is exactly what clutters the diskussion
with historical assumptions, and we are not here to discuss history.
Furthermore i doubt that this is true as long as you speak in first
person plural since i strongly doubt you've actively contributed to the
actual invention of cyrilic alphabet.
if i as an austrian would say we have brought mozart to the world, you
should doubt it, since the only person who could possibly rightfully
state that was mozarts mother.
Furthermore this would bring me in deep trouble since than i would also
have to admit that we the austrians brought hitler to the world, were
responsible for the 1st world war and many other unpleasant things
during history. So please lets avoid such statements in a present
discussion.
But maybe this was already to much of an explanation since we're not
discussing who invented cyrilic alphabet.
your other points are interesting and i'm happy that you stated them for
your last point though i've to quote yourselv: "I don't see how it can
influence on this topic." despite of course a new flamewar between
greeks macedonians bulgarians and serbs.
i in this matter have my own opinion you can read it over at:
