	Oh dear !  We seem to have a born joker here don't we ??  Or should
I say a natural clown.  *mumble*.

	Hmm.  Decent net you say ?? Excuse me, while I smile in amused
incredulity.  A net that comprises mostly of articles which are either 
incredibly atavistic, or puerile in nature, or just downright (matter-wise)
boring or in most cases all three, cannot, repeat *cannot* be called decent
by any stretch of imagination.  

	Oh I know, I know.  I'm going to be accused of being a traitor now
to the great motherland of ours (shot at dawn ??).  But the fact still
remains that this net has, for me the dubious reputation of taking the cake
of mediocrity, so there.

	One thing though.  Few, but a very few articles are very good, and
the above comments does not apply to those who posted them.  The people I'm
talking about know this, for we keep in touch by email.

	As for the rest of you, my sympathies lie with you.  God bless.
And my apologies for being a victim of the culture shock, that you can so
proudly claim to have transcended.  Hope you enjoy sticking to your good
old Bharatiya habits.  I'm sure you'll understnad if I sit this one out.
