Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiun!! Dimple, it would be a shame if you left Sajha. I hope the Khudahafis was only for this thread. I usually hesitate to praise others but I must say you have been one of the finest people I have come across on Sajha minus, if I may, your occasional tendency to obsess with the trivial. (Allow me that, ok, after all this ...LOL!) With your unique style and world view, you have brought a certain grace and elegance to this forum that was sorely lacking. Not just that, and much more importantly, you are a thoughtful and articulate person who speaks her mind. I'll take that any day over someone who doesn't know what the hell they are talking about. There is only one thing worse than a stupid fool: a stupid fool who can't keep his or her mouth shut. Believe me, I have come across too many of those in life, and it is always a pleasure to engage with some one like you who is the polar opposite. And I couldn't care less whether you were an aristocrat or a homeless person.You have proved yourself through your ideas and contributions to the great discourse that is Sajha and everything else is immaterial to establishing your credibility. Now please stay and keep contributing to Sajha, will you? (just not this thread) ...:) How about this thread ? - http://www.sajha.com/sajha/html/OpenThread.cfm?forum=2&ThreadID=38224 (since you are from Boston and might have interesting experiences to share ... and no one else seems interested ... he he he) Ma salama!
