Thank you Badmas for your note. I have found out that one way to deal with these unwaranted and false attacks is to accept that they do take place, not get troubled by them and them take them all in stride by marching ahead anyway, without skipping a beat. As an optimist, I tend to believe that there are many, many good people on Sajha (and I have met a number of them personally) who can quietly figure out for themselves what is what and make up their mind accordingly. oohi ashu
