Recently the following piece of mail showed up on iitbnet mailing list. I presume that the english is deliberate, yet I found some part rather amusing. I have underlined it using ^^^^ symbols. I presume that since the mailing was distributed publicly (even though to a limited group), it's okay to post it to the net. Now before you go any further, please note that I mean no personal insult to the poster. It is supposed to be a joke. I have deliberately deleted the mail originator's id to avoid causing him any agony. > Subject: Aur Desh ki baaten.

After reading this, I have come to believe otherwise. Ali Shaik ..ihnp4!philabs!ams
