Newuser, Since I have been using my own name on Sajha since 2000 and since I stand behind my postings and since I know that the TRUTH behind my postings can always be checked (hence, there is an in-built incentive for me to be always truthful), let me tell you that: a) Unlike in the case of some Sajha folks, NO politician, royal or otherwise, has ever held me up in his lap and said, "this boy will do something for the country". b) Unlike of some Sajha folks, I do not have an entire village or a town totally invested, since my boyhood, in my political or whatever success. Believe me, except for my family, no one really cares about my whatever success -- as it should be. c) Add (a) and (b) and you'll find that freed from the burden of always having to live up to other people's expectations, I can afford to be just be myself, and this ability to just be onself is the purest form of freedom. d) That is why, contrary to what you seem to believe (very highly, I might add), I personally have NO illusion that I will be tapped for this post or that post by this party or that party or by the monarch himself. I'd rather earn my achievements through the old-fashioned way of hard-work than take short-cuts based on who I know. oohi ashu
