Darshankaka, I accept that -- despite my small, small attempts to get this discussion forum interesting --- some people cannot rest without having thrown mud at me for no reason. I thank you for being one such person. My life would be boring if some people out there don't have reasons to hate me :-) I don't mind what you have posted above simply because your assertions are FALSE. But I understand that such FALSEHOOD do make comfortable stories for some people who want to believe the worst about others, and that's fine because that's life. That's why, you and your friends are welcome to believe any negative thing you have heard about me from people who hate me for their own reasons. I wish you well. By now, most on Sajha know that I have endured MORE than my share of numerous FALSE and slanderous attacks here (simply because I tend to be vocal and active in my own way, I suppose). Optimistically, I intend to be around on and off Sajha. Do keep on following my life; who knows, you may be pleasantly surprised when you find out the facts that you can ACTUALLY verify and gasp at, and not speculate with suspicions . . . if only you exercise some bits of patience. :-) And I say that with enormous confidence and self-awareness. oohi "completely at ease at being himself on and off Sajha" ashu
